Reconnect to our Maritime Heritage: Celebrating 50 years of Celtic Mist.
Join us on Friday 23rd August in Bantry Bay Harbour from 6:00-8:30 pm to Celebrate 50 years of Celtic Mist as part of Heritage Week 2024.
Come and explore IWDG’s research vessel Celtic Mist and learn all about the history of the vessel, as well as the new ways in which Celtic Mist is now surveying our seas.
Celtic Mist was donated to the IWDG in 2011, by the family of Ireland’s former Taoiseach, Charles J. Haughey. At 17m, Celtic Mist has become IWDG’s flagship vessel, equipped to accommodate eight people.
This year’s theme for Heritage Week is Connections, Routes and Networks. What better way to reconnect to our maritime heritage and routes, whilst learning more about the incredible life we have in Irish waters
