Memory Harbour- The Port of Sligo

A 1992 copy of John C. Mc Ternan’s book Memory Harbour, an outline of the growth & decline of the Port of Sligo and its role as an Emigration Port. Published by Avena Publications and printed by the Sligo Champion. In this book 'Memory Harbour' he outlines the significant role the Port has played in the growth of Sligo, its trade and commerce, - a factor that has received but scant comment to date. Its physical development, its growth as an important seaport and its trading links with both American and Cross-Channel ports, are narrated in a concise and orderly fashion. Details of locally owned ships and the men who manned them provide a fascinating insight into a maritime tradition that can be traced back for centuries and is highlighted in the careers of successive generations of notable seafaring families.
