Wikipedia offers the charming information that the Bremen landed on Greenly Island on April 13, 1928 after the first successful east - west crossing of the Atlantic by an aircraft. The first person to see the plane was Antoine Letemplier, when first sighted, he ran to his parents and shouted "Flying fish! Flying fish!"

You can visit the Bremen in Bremen Hall at Bremen Airport.

The “Major” as he was known in later Irish Press days.

1932 – 1982: Served as a continuous member of the board of directors for The Irish Press.1951 – 1982: Held the powerful executive position of managing director, controlling the day-to-day business operations and editorial trajectory of the group's papers.1982: Remained actively at the helm of the organization until his death from cancer in February 1982 at age 71

Vivion's death marked a turning point for the media group. Control of the company was passed down to his son, Éamon de Valera (Vivion's grandson). Following his tenure, the company suffered extreme financial stress, legal battles with minority shareholders, and shifting media landscapes, which ultimately led to the sudden, permanent shutdown of The Irish Press titles in May 1995

Wonderful photo of a nations and a family's loss. I had never seen this before and it is very good. Interesting to see how they hall was laid out to cope with those who wished to pay their respects to the fallen leader.

I was reading about Michael Collins and it said the last known photograph of him was in Bandon before the ambush. Is this photograph in your collection?

oh wow, thanks! I've just been reading coincidentally about Michael Collins recently and it is such an incredible history (incredible in the sense of cultural and historical relevance, not withstanding any political standpoints.) love this flickr, you do such a great job! I always check in every week
