Merchant Navy Exhibition

Merchant Navy exhibition

Thank you to all in advance for all support, especially that shown by Vale AM Jane Hutt for our campaign for a Barry Museum.

Barry is a unique town: in 1884 it was a tiny village;

By 1913, it was the largest coal -exporting port in the world.

In two World Wars it lost a greater proportion of its merchant seamen than any other port in Great Britain.

The Barry Branch of the Merchant Navy Association will be presenting an exhibition in the Barry library. It will open on Monday, September 21.

We would be happy to meet anyone who would like to offer information – queries about men or ships lost in those wars.

Photos, stories or anything at all, relating to the past, will be carefully preserved.
