- Description
-
When The Book of Aran was to be launched on Inishmore in 1994, its editors decided to bring copies of the book across from Kinvara in the Galway hooker Mac Duach.
Among the people seen here are Anne Korff (leaning against the mast), one of the book's editors, with two of the contributors: Paul Walsh (holding one end of the banner) and Gordon Darcy (foremost in the prow).
This is one of 31 photos taken by Frank Imbusch on the day of the launch which was attended by numerous members of NUIG staff. -
