The Cleggan Bay Disater by Marie Feeney
The Cleggan Bay Disaster is the story of that fateful night in the life of the two communities – a night that changed the course of local history. On October 28th 1927, a hurricane struck the coast of Connemara, County Galway and destroyed a fleet of fishing boats from Rossadillisk, Cleggan and Inishbofin Island. Forty-five fishermen from these communities perished. The author, Marie Feeney, is the granddaughter of one of the survivors. • Sellerna Cleggan • mobile: +353(0)864041339 • email: book@mariefeeney.ie • website: www.mariefeeney.ie
