#OTD in 1641 – Rory O’More, Lord Maguire and Sir Pheilim O’Neill initiate a major revolt in Armagh.

The Irish Uprising of 1641 was a long-term result of the “plantation” policy of Tudor and Stuart monarchs under which Ireland was aggressively colonised by Protestant settlers from England and Scotland. From the mid-16th century, Irish landowners were dispossessed to make way for the settlers and a vicious cycle developed whereby rebellion against the English government was followed by further…

Six Sentence Tuesday Tag

Thanks for tagging me, @mysticstarlightduck! :D

This was supposed to be just the first paragraph, which is six-ish sentences. But I like the rest of this excerpt too much to not post it. So here are three paragraphs and a footnote from Houses Full of Deceit, in which Leo decides being chased by a serial killer gives him the perfect excuse to visit his crush:

"No!" Colman winced at how sharp he sounded. "I mean, um… The White Star Line ships go to Belfast. I'm from Belfast. We could, that is, I could find a hiding place for us somewhere. Maybe not even in Belfast. I know a chap who lives near Limavady, in a place called Loughlinter[1], or we could go to Portadown where I know a guy who owes me a favour—" Yo-han interrupted this litany of places he'd never heard of. "Or we could go to Enniskillen, which I believe is what you're trying to suggest indirectly." Colman actually, honest to god blushed.

[1] Loughlinter isn't a real place. The name was invented by Anthony Trollope for his Palliser series, and I've borrowed it for my future WIP, Uneasy Money, which is set in the same universe as The Case-files of Seo Yo-han.

Tagging @avrablake, @blind-the-winds, @tabswrites, @sarandipitywrites, and anyone else who wants to do this! :D

This quote is so funny to me because orangeism was extremely significantly NOT born in portadown & probably the only reason this man thinks that is because for a bit before they moved it to dublin the seat of orange power was functionally in portadown simply bc william blacker, the 1st real grand master (james sloan never held a formal role) lived there + that was where he organised his horrible little marches & therefore that was where the meetings were held

Launch Site of the Titanic

33 Clarendon Dock, Queens Island, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom 54.6107, -5.9086

A museum marks and documents the site of the Titanic's launch.

HOW DO YOU MARK AND memorialize the site of a tragedy that technically sits more than two and a half miles under water?

The tragedy of the Titanic sent pangs of shock and grief through citizens all over the world. Comparable tragedies all have an intensely personal memorial site where people can visit hallowed ground and commune with their emotions about the event - Ground Zero in New York City, Auschwitz in Oswiecim, Poland, and Hiroshima Park in Japan - but the site of the Titanic is unreachable by the vast majority of humanity.

The organizers of the Titanic Belfast museum in Northern Ireland believe that they have the best possible solution. An elaborate building and museum built next to the slipways where Titanic was built showcases the Titanic story from her early beginnings to her tragic end.

Poignant and moving, standing at the site of the joyous send-off of a doomed ship is an affecting way to pay respect to the tragedy. Looking to the sea on a sunny day, one can imagine the emotions evoked among the engineers and workers who toiled for months to construct her, as they watched famous ship shrink into the horizon, wondering when they might, if ever, see it again.

Anyone with an interest in maritime history or the Titanic story should visit this incredibly special part of Belfast; Queen’s Island has a lot to offer other than the slipways and museum.

The slipways themselves outside of the museum are open to the public without charge, so you can walk in the outline of the great ship and marvel at the memorials in the area without paying a penny.

Know Before You Go

There are a number of activities on offer around the Queen's Island besides the Slipways and the Museum. Not to be missed is the SS Nomadic, (Titanic's Tender ship), and the Thompson Dry Dock and Pump House where Titanic was outfitted. If visiting the Titanic Belfast Exhibition, it is recommended to book tickets online in high season, and move through the self-service ticketing stations to save time getting into the galleries. Early morning visits mean the galleries are less crowded and easier to traverse. Getting to the Titanic Quarter is easy, as following the River Lagan out towards past the Odyssey Pavillion is a 15 minute walk from the city centre. The huge, pointed silver building is prominent on the skyline, as are the Harland and Wolff cranes which share the island. The train stop of Titanic Quarter is a short distance from the building and Slipways, and is accessible from the Central or Grand Victoria stations in Belfast via the Portadown/Bangor train route.

#OTD in 1998 – Drumcree Conflict | The annual Orange Order march was prevented from marching through the nationalist Garvaghy area of Portadown, Co Armagh.

Security forces and about 10,000 loyalists began a standoff at Drumcree church. During this time, loyalists launched 550 attacks on the security forces and numerous attacks on Catholic civilians. On 12 July, three children were burnt to death in a loyalist petrol bomb attack. This incident brought an end to the standoff.
