Description

Shane Holland, an Irish designer and sculptor, will give a talk on his family's links to John P. Holland, the father of the modern submarine. He will also discuss the tradition of Irish Currachs and other ties to Ireland's maritime history. Holland’s “Submarinocurraplane,” an award-winning sculpture made of recycled airplane parts, was inspired by these connections to his ancestor and his Irish heritage.

Sponsored by the Irish Arts Community, the Albany Irish Rowing Club, New London Currach Club, and the John P. Holland Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, New London.
