Hello
I would like to inform you of a plan which is close to my heart. I have a passion for Jack Phillips's story.
I have created a website on him so that French-speaking people can get to know him and remember what he achieved : http://pageperso.aol.fr/bongiovany/Jack.html
In 1908, Jack was transferred to the Marconi transatlantic station at Clifden on the Irish coast where he worked as an operator transmitting and receiving messages to and from the Marconi sister station at Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. He stayed there more than 3 years.
A plaque unveiled at Derrygimla in honour of Guglielmo Marconi and Clifden celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first commercial wireless transmission across the Atlantic which was sent to Newfoundland ( Canada). So, it is taken seriously.
There are several memorials in honour of Jack in Godalming, Farncombe his native town where I went twice and New-York ( at Battery Park ). I would like to honour his memory by hanging a commemorative plaque in Clifden, if possible at the same place as Marconi's.
I intend to go to Clifden in April 2008, I have already written to the french Titanic Society, the British Titanic Society, the Irish Titanic Historical Society, the Clifden Chamber of Commerce and the Marconi's association. What else must I do ? Have you got any other ideas?
I thank you for your help.
