    Brave Record Issue 11

    Issue 11 Page !1 Brave Report HMS Viknor formerly SS Atrato They captured the major German spy and perished with him In January 1915 the crew of the armed merchant cruiser HMS Viknor made a major contribution to the war by capturing the leading German spy-master after a search and chase operation. Unfortunately they and their captives were lost within hours, sunk in a storm or by a mine or a combination of both. Northern Ireland - Service in the Royal Navy - In Remembrance Issue 11 Page !2 The ship’s Commanding Officer, E O Ballantyne, had been informed by Lord Fisher that he was to search for and apprehend the SS Bergensfjord - a Norwegian owned and neutral ship. Information had been received from British intelligence sources that persons taken aboard the ship in New York under the guise of being neutral citizens were in fact German reservists. This was quite a challenge to present to what in reality was a makeshift warship. Viknor was a civilian ship hastily prepared for war, and manned mainly by members of the Royal Naval Reserve, including twenty-five seamen of the Newfoundland Division of the RNR. In their search and apprehend action the ship’s company proved that they were fit for role. The Viknor which was only able to do seventeen knots had headed out to the North Sea as Admiral Jellico wanted it to strengthen the blockade of Germany by the northern patrol. On Friday 8th December the message was flashed to the fleet that SS Bergensfjord should be captured at all costs.

This volume has been prepared in accordance vvith the provisions of Section 6 (1) of the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1936, from the census returns made as at JJ?-idnight of the 28th February-1st March, 1937. The statistics contained herein supersede those contained in the Preliminary Report published in July, 1937, and may be regarded as final. The census which was taken in 1937 was a special one in the sense that it was limited .in .scope and was taken during the interval between normal census years, thus bndg1ng the gap between the 1926 census and the next full census. Certain ques~ions usually found on census schedules, such as those regarding occupation and Industry, were not asked, but a ne\v question as to usual residence \Vas in­ cluded for the first time. The 1937 census publications \Vill consist of :- 1. SEVEN CouNTY VoLUMES, each similar in design and scope. The smallest area for which statistics are given in the county volumes is the district electoral division, but statistics in respect of townlands, similar to those given in table 4, have been prepared in the Census Office and are available for reference upon application to the Registrar General.

  • Creates a Barrier to Upstream Juvenile Eel Migration, for Onward Stocking Into L

    Creates a Barrier to Upstream Juvenile Eel Migration, for Onward Stocking Into L

    496 EIFAC/ICES WGEEL Report 2008 creates a barrier to upstream juvenile eel migration, for onward stocking into L. Ne‐ agh. Elvers are also trapped at the same location and stocked into the Lough. The yellow eel fishery (May–September, 5 days a week) supports 80–90 boats each with a crew of two men using draft nets and baited longlines. Eels are collected and marketed centrally by the Co‐operative. Around 300 families derive and depend on income from the fishery. Through the Co‐operative, yellow eel fishers are paid the market price for their catch. Silver eels are caught in weirs in the Lower River Bann. Profit from the less labour‐intensive silver eel fishery sustains the management of the whole co‐operative venture, providing working capital for policing, marketing and stocking activity and an out of season bonus payment for yellow eel fishers at Christmas. Natural recruitment has been supplemented since 1984 by the purchase of glass eel. Approximately 77 million additional glass eel have been stocked by the LNFCS. Re‐ views on the fishery, its history and operation can be found in Kennedy, 1999 and Rosell et al., 2005. The cross‐border Erne system is comparable in size to L. Neagh and produces a fish‐ ery yield in the region of 35–50 t of eels per year. Within N. Ireland, Upper and Lower Lough Erne sustain small‐scale and declining yellow and silver eel fisheries. Elvers are trapped at the mouth of the River Erne using ladders placed at the base of the hy‐ droelectric facility that spans the Erne, and trucked into the Erne lake system for stocking.

    IntroductionI Step into Ballymena's past with self-guided Churchyard Trails The Ballymena area is dotted with a diverse range of churchyards reflecting the fluid and constantly evolving nature of religious sites from the late 400s onwards. Each site offers a different experience and has its own unique story to tell within the wider history of the area. This booklet features two distinct trails. Pre-Reformation Trail The Pre-Reformation Trail explores the history of some of the oldest remaining traces of built heritage in the area. It highlights sites that have been used for Christian worship from the time of St Patrick and before the formation of the Protestant faith in the early 1500s. Covenanter Trail The Covenanter Trail delves into the distinctive history and associated sites of the 'Covenanters', or Reformed Presbyterian Church, in the local area. Covenanters were named after the National Covenant and the Solemn League and Covenant signed in Scotland in the mid 1600s. In 1644 the Solemn League and Covenant was brought to Ireland and signed in 26 places across Ulster, including Ballymena. These documents declared Presbyterianism to be the only true form of church government and insisted that the King should have no authority over the church.
