Cormac Lowth - Zoom Session
11th July 2020
(Note, members of all OGA sections - not just Dublin Bay - are welcome to attend this Zoom talk).
DBOGA invites you to join our next Zoom session on Historic Dublin Bay Gaff Rigged Vessels from Maritime Paintings and Photographs, which will be given by Cormac Lowth on Thursday 16th July.
Dublin’s leading maritime historian, Cormac Lowth, has assembled a fine collection of 19th and early 20th century paintings and photographs that showcase the gaff rigged vessels that graced Dublin Bay. These images include fishing boats, of which there were a great many based in Ringsend; cargo vessels, including schooners, brigantines and ketches and of course sailing yachts, both cruising and racing. The wide variety of these gaff rigged, working and pleasure vessels provided interesting subject matter for Dublin’s artists and photographers during the second half of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century. With his extensive knowledge of Dublin’s maritime past Cormac will guide us through this unique collection of images which will interest sailors, historians, painters, photographers and anyone interested in Dublin’s maritime past.
Cormac’s session will start at 19.30 but you are requested to join the Zoom meeting at 19.00 for general chat before the Q&A session. Joining early will also ensure that any connection issues can be sorted out well before 19.30.
