Maritime Heritage Weekend 2019 18 – 20 October
The Maritime Heritage Weekend is series of illustrated talks in the traditional seafaring village of Rosses Point on the North West Coast of Ireland. With themes of a nautical and historical interest, visiting and local speakers bring stories of the sea and seafaring to new and established audiences. The talks take place over 3 days/evenings in October and since its 2016 inception, this unique event has attracted the highest calibre speakers from home and abroad. The audience numbers for the Maritime Heritage Weekend continue to grow and we are looking forward to welcoming many returning and new visitors to Rosses Point in 2019.
