Claare ny Gael 20th September 2020

Mona Douglas was born on 18th September 1898, and we remember her in this edition of Claare ny Gael. On a more sombre note, Laa'l Mian, St Matthew's Day (21st September) is the anniversary of the wreck of the herring fleet in the mouth of Douglas Harbour. We hear contemporary reports about it and the song in Manx made on the tragedy. Our story in Manx is a little shorter, and it's a string of sentences, a translation of those written in English by John Heggelund, that build up to give a picture of an individual through thoughts and feelings.
