@cheapsellotape @GlennMartyStein @RMGreenwich @UltimaThule0000 @fingerpostblog @mringster @laBnF With the doors to employment in the government, the clergy, and the military largely closed to them, the Smith family, like many other Dissenters and nonconformists, turned instead to creating their own educational institutions and to making their livings in banking and in trade.

@GlennMartyStein @ArcticExplorers @RMGreenwich @UltimaThule0000 @fingerpostblog @mringster @laBnF Cheers! As Pete's books have informed me, BLS wasn't that fussed by such things anyway.

I hope you’ll appreciate the excellent documentary film "In search of Eira", realised by Evgeny Bezborodov, end of 2022. I’m really grateful to him, his team and to every person involved. This version with English subtitles, was released last days. #Eira disk.yandex.ru/i/gL_VUm6LWo_R…

For today’s #EYAExpedition theme, we have some photos of the crew of the Eira, stranded in ice during an Arctic expedition undertaken by B. Leigh Smith in the 1880s (PRONI ref D4131/F/6). These photos were presented to Henry Gore-Booth in recognition of his help in their rescue!
