produced this interesting video about #cretehawser that I am delighted to share here. Marie has written an excellent book called 'Secret Sunderland' in which #Cretehawser and the other Wear Concrete Shipbuilding Co. Ltd Crete ships appear
Great drone video by
Owen Gardiner about #Cretehawser with a potted history to go with. This video appears on the North Mayo Tourism site as well. You can follow Owen's work on Instagram @mastergardiner and on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/user/owengardiner17/
If you follow this link, you can watch for free a newsreel that shows the construction of #Cretepath at British Concrete Construction at Barnstaple. It doesn't actually show the destruction of Cretepath at launch in 1918. She was never registered because she had to be forcibly removed and 'dispersed' in order to enable the launch of Cretepond. I love this 'video'
#Creteboom taken on Wednesday 6th July 2022 at Ballina.
I was holidaying in Sligo and Ballina is only an hour away, so had to be done. Met a number of very interesting local historians and had a great craic about Creteboom...one of the gentlemen I met was the Grandson of the Harbourmaster at the time Creteboom arrived in 1937 and was even involved in moving her in 1974...
