About this listen

From livestock cargoes to lifeboat legacies, Episode 10 of Steady As She Goes is a story of small beginnings and lasting impact.

We look back at the very first passenger sailing from Rosslare — a voyage that carried more than just travellers, and helped shape a proud maritime tradition.

Thirty years on, we reflect on the Sea Empress disaster and the lasting safety lessons learned across the industry. We also mark Ernest Shackleton’s birthday, bring you news from around the coast, celebrate the arrival of Larne RNLI’s new Shannon class lifeboat, and bid farewell to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group’s vessel Celtic Mist.

From pigs and sheep to proud seafaring heritage — this is Episode 10.
