Tourism Ireland has created a new online video to highlight the Wild Atlantic Way.
"Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way – Connecting The World For Over 100 Years"
Titled "Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way – Connecting the world for over 100 years", the video shows that throughout history, locations along the Wild Atlantic Way have played a part in connecting the world. For example, in 1919, Sir John Alcock and Sir Arthur Whitten-Brown flew from Newfoundland in Canada in a two-man Vickers Vimy biplane and performed a crash landing at Derrigimlagh Bog in Connemara, and, in the same year, Guglielmo Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio telegraph from Ballybunion to Nova Scotia.
