Armada CentreBantry House Stables027 51796"The scaled cross-section model of the French frigate, Surveillante which was scuttled in Bantry Bay is interesting, as is the story of the dive to recover her bell and other artefacts. Also Wolfe Tone's view of the events as revealed in his diary is fascinating"
The Irish Times 23/08/06Over 200 years ago, in the winter of 1796, a formidable French Armada, inspired by Theobald Wolfe Tone and the United Irishmen and under the command of Admiral Hoche, sailed from Brest in France. Their purpose was to invade Ireland, put an end to British rule and establish an independent Irish republic.
