    Checking the census records for Snoddy, Starkie, Harvey, McNeill would suggest Antrim/Down as the most likely area
  • John Spooner said:
    Looks not unlike St Cadma's, Larne
  • John Spooner said:
    ... although the windows at the side don't match.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    John Spooner There's a very similar Lawrence photo calling it Inver Church, which would back up St. Cedma's.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    The DIA mentions the addition of stained glass and memorial windows in the 1879-1881 period.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Pith Helmets, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Michael Field said:
    Its still there on the road to Mulinu'u, although it gets overgrown now and again and has to be cleaned off for the odd visiting German who likes to lay a wreath.
  • Globe Hopper said:
    Whets your appetite for more information. Why were they doing this, and who were the they?
  • Michael Field said:
    The short version: in 1889 the Germans, the Americans, the French and the British were all vying for control of Samoa. They all had warships moored in Apia harbour. The barameter began to fall but no nation wanted to be the first to leave harbour. In the event, in what was known as the Great Hurricane, the only ship to manage to get out was the British ship Calliope... the rest went down with the loss of hundreds of lives - mostly Germans. Had it not been for the Great Hurricane of 1889 it was more than likely an "incident" would have occured between the Great Powers in Apia Harbour - and World War One would have started - nearly 30 years before an equally obscure incident in Sarajavo.
