It's Tuesday, so this means a new #PortsPastAndPresent slideshow is available.

Margaret Todd from #Goodwick sat down with us to talk about her former work as stewardess on board the ferries linking #Fishguard and #RosslareHarbour. She remembers her duties as stewardess, her colleagues and meeting her future husband at sea.

#Introduction

I'm a PostDoctoral researcher at #AberystwythUniversity working currently for the #PortsPastAndPresent project. For this project I have just produced a series of short documentary films around #CoastalHeritage of the #IrishSea (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrSqDy-CF3zCb7oDOvhwml6P47pF9YGOA) as a new way of supporting #SustainableTourism in ferry port communities.

Otherwise, I'm working on #WelshWritingInEnglish mostly from the long #C19, so there is lots of overspill into #RomanticLit and #EdwardianLit, #CulturalHeritage and #History of this small nation. Other research interests include #TravelWriting, particularly illustrated accounts and the history of the #VisitorsBook. I've also done some #PublicHistory work and community outreach during the recent #CommemorationPeriod around #WW1 German submarine warfare and its effects on Welsh communities.

I share longer #WorkInProgress on my blog: https://bydbach.hcommons.org/

Toots will be mostly in #English, but occasionally also in #Deutsch and #Cymraeg.
