County of Clare
Quote from Ted Scaplehorn on 12 July 2020, 16:26We have received the following request from Dr William Gaul of the Wexford Historical Society:
"As Vice-President and Hon. Editor of the Wexford Historical Society (founded in 1944) I am currently editing articles submitted for the society's next journal in 2021.
One article deals with the life of Richard Delaney from Wexford town who began his maritime career sailing on The County of Clare out of Liverpool. Eventually during WWI he served on a hospital ship, St. Andrew as the ship's master.
Following a lifetime at sea, Captain Delaney retired in the early 1950's. This very interesting article was submitted by Captain Delaney's granddaughter with some accompanying photographs. An image of The County of Clare or any information on this vessel would add to this article. All credits would be acknowledged in the journal. I would be grateful for any such information, please."
If anyone can help with this, please get in touch with Dr Gaul directly at wpgaul@gmail.com or you can leave a message on this forum. Please put a note here in any event to say what has been done.
