April Heritage Coffee Morning (Online): Maritime Archaeology in the Irish Sea | Bore Coffi Treftadaeth mis Ebrill: Archeoleg Môr ym Môr Iwerddon

Join our cross-coastal coffee mornings for informal conversation about heritage and creative themes across the port towns. The April coffee morning will take place on Thursday, April 7 at 11am.

Our April coffee morning will feature a short talk by archaeologist and National Museum of Ireland curator Dr Nessa O’Connor.

Nessa has worked in the area of underwater archaeology on behalf of the National Museum for many years. She will talk about the different types of discoveries from the hinterland of ports through time and from the Irish Sea area in particular, along with the maritime archaeology related role of the National Museum of Ireland. She will show images of some very interesting sites and archaeological objects as well as describing the different ways in which these maritime discoveries have come to light and how they are best recorded and protected.

All welcome, and promises to be a fascinating talk! Please email aoife.dowling@ucc.ie for a Zoom link.
