An Post puts stamp on fame of naval giants
Near the Wexford quayside, An Post launched their latest stamps. One honours local man John Barry, born less than 10 miles away in Tacumshane and known to generations of schoolchildren as the Father of the US Navy.
Junior Marine Minister John Browne, a Wexford man from Enniscorthy, said the county’s sea-going tradition went back to the early settlements at the mouth of the Slaney.
