Claare ny Gael 22nd November 2020

Published: Nov. 21, 2020, 11 p.m.

We hear about the reason the Mona's Isle Steam Packet Company was founded, and about its early competition with the St George's Steam Packet Company of Liverpool. That rivalry ended dramatically with the wreck of the St George on Conister. Fortunately, all aboard were rescued by Douglas lifeboat, though Sir William Hillary suffered six broken ribs in the rescue in the early hours of 20th November 1830.

We have a shortish story in Manx from an original by Sherwood Anderson, then four more pieces of flash fiction translated from stories by Bruce Gunther, Pamela Kennedy, I M Cameron and Noriko Jayasekera.
