Description
An account of heroic failure that has all the ingredients of a great story - transatlantic travel, record-breaking crossings, disasters, emigration, the American Civil War and great expectations dashed. The Atlantic Steam Navigation Company, 'The Galway Line', was launched in June 1858 with high hopes. Today there is no evidence in Galway docks that it was once the 'Liverpool' of Ireland.
