(Binneas Meitheals)

Paddy Moulcore’s Reel from the playing of Patrick Donnelly. Patrick learned the tune from his father who played it on the melodeon.

This penny ballad sheet concerns the ship Niagara which took part in laying the first transatlantic cable which crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Valentia Island to Trinity Bay in eastern New Foundland.
