He was looking for any photos we might have of the S.S. Coningbeg as his grandfather was lost on that ship. I was delighted to be able to oblige, but it turned out this Marconi Room was not on the S.S. Coningbeg at all, but perhaps in one of the Waterford Steamship offices...<br /> <br /> Anyhow, may I just remind you all that <b>I'm more than happy to take requests</b>!
