Always learning. Born, bred and still living on the most easterly point of Northern Ireland - the Ards Peninsula - 18 miles across the sea from Scotland. I do lots of things- design, music, talks, trying to be a husband and father. This blog isn't an example of great quality writing or research, it's just a scrapbook pointing towards content that's of interest. © the author; contact me for permissions
Another world of symbols and emblems are the sailing clubs that the well-connected did, and still do, frequent. Royal Ulster Yacht Club in Bangor dates from 1866. Sir Thomas Lipton famously sailed his boat Shamrock here. Flags are a critical medium for communication at sea - the triangular shape is a 'burgee'.
