New Ross, Co. Wexford, Ireland - Unravel Travel TV
New Ross in Ireland was founded by the Normans. Located on the banks of the river Barrow, 34km west of Wexford town. Through the port of this town, thousands of people emigrated to America and Australia; among these the great-grandparents of President John F. Kennedy. One of its main attractions is The Dunbrody Famine Ship which is moored at the quayside and from the north quayside you can cruise and dine on board the Galley Cruising Restaurant while discovering the picturesque Barrow and Nore River. Outside New Ross, you can also visit the John F. Kennedy Arboretum as well as the Kennedy Homestead. If you are interested in tracing your family roots in the Wexford region then contact the John F Kennedy Trust who are located in the Tourist Office on Quay Street. Saint Mary's Church, a Gothic building which is located in Church Lane is recommended a visit, the church dates 13th century but time has taken its toll and all that remains is a ruin. Contained inside the ruin is a great collection of early medieval tombstones.
The Dunbrody Famine Ship - is located alongside the New Ross docks. A full-scale reconstruction of a 19th Century Famine ship, and authentic replica of the Three Masted Barque built in Quebec in 1845 for the Graves family of New Ross. Board the Dunbrody and walk in the footsteps of a group of Irish famine emigrants on their journey of hope across the Atlantic Ocean.
Go below deck and enter the confined spaces, which would be home for passengers and crew for the 45-day voyage. Descend into the cargo hold where the exhibition describes the endurance, struggle and triumph over adversity of those 19th Century emigrants as epitomised by the story of the most famous emigrant sons of New Ross, President John F. Kennedy.
A computer database of ships passengers records list over two million individual passages while audio visual and interactive displays trace the amazing success stories of the, Kennedys, Commodore John Barry, Henry Ford, Eugene ONeill and many others.
The Ros Tapestry Project - is a massive community initative in progress in the County of Wexford. Conceived in 1998 and being developed by over a hundred dedicated volunteers, fifteen striking embroidered panels - 6 x 4 foot each - it is a cultural and historical accolade to its' creators.

The Joys of Life in The Slow Lane…
With the rising price of fuel and maintenance costs, more and more boat owners are opting for more efficient craft these days.
One look around this Courier 970 and it’s easy to see why!
This boat is the epitome of no hassle, low-cost pleasure boating. She is built to a very high standard, with an extremely versatile layout and a beautiful finish.
Now professionally prepared, down to the smallest detail, and for sale with a full 3 month warranty.
This boat would be ideally suited to a couple or family looking for a leisurely cruiser that is easy to own and manage. If your boating is as much about the journey as the destination and you’d like to experience the joys of the inland waterways as well as the coast then you should take a very close look at this boat.
With a round bilge hull design, a full length keel and a low centre of gravity this Courier 970 is a very capable cruising boat for comfortable passage making at displacement speeds in relaxed serenity.
With a single Yanmar 54HP diesel shaft drive motor the boat cruises along nicely with minimal fuss and fuel consumption! This has to be about as economical as it gets in a 30ft plus cruising boat with two separate cabins. You also get all the reliability and simplicity of a Yanmar motor on a shaft drive. The full length keel also offers excellent protection for the sterngear in the event that you come across any underwater obstacles.
The accommodation on board is perfect for up to two couples staying on board for extended periods, in 2 private cabins. And with a full complement of crew onboard the boat will even sleep up to 8 comfortably… Although I wouldn’t necessarily fancy queuing up for the heads the next morning!
With diesel heating, gas stove, TV/DVD player, cockpit hard top and canvas covers, and anchor windlass all part of an extensive specification this boat really does offer a fantastic all around package of onboard comfort and cruising ability. This 2008 model represents fantastic value for money at the asking price and really has to be seen to be appreciated.
A real testament to the ability of this boat is the previous owner’s (sole owners from new) trip from the North coast of Ireland, around the coast to France, then then through the French canals to the Mediterranean and onwards down the French and Spanish coasts to Torrevieja.
Having recently come back to Ireland by road, she is currently lying in our yard, Northern Ireland and is available for any inspection.
We are experienced in delivering motor boats to buyers throughout the UK and Europe and are only too happy to provide shipping quotations and answer any questions you might have.
This boat is now being sold with a Comprehensive 3 Month Warranty and she has been prepared to the highest standards. Every piece of equipment on the boat is fully operational and the boat is in fantastic condition throughout – check out the full length video to see for yourself.
