-I've been writing short stories -for quite a few years. | 0:00:01 | 0:00:06 | |
-Some of them were recently narrated -to audiences on the Lleyn Peninsula. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
-I was born and raised in Lleyn. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
-I left long ago, but I'm going back -to rediscover my own personal Lleyn. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:22 | |

-Here, on the Lleyn Peninsula, -one is never far from the sea. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:55 | |
-Strangely, as a child, it was -the sound of the sea I remember... | 0:00:55 | 0:01:00 | |
-..groaning from the depths -of Hell's Mouth in bad weather. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
-The sea has shaped the lives -of the people of Lleyn... | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
-..and was very important to them. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-As an author, it has been -very important to me too. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
-There are dozens of caves like -this one on the Lleyn Peninsula. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
-I'm on Whistling Sands beach. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
-A cave like this one -was excellent for smugglers. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
-There was a lot of smuggling -here over the years... | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
-..of rare, or illegal, goods. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
-An exciting cargo was concealed... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
-..after some Lleyn locals -got hold of it a century ago. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
-It was one of this coast's -most renowned shipwrecks. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
-The Stuart crashed into the rocks -of Porth Ty Mawr in 1901... | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
-..on a day of calm seas. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-Its cargo would result -in leading everyone astray. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-Good afternoon. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
-Good afternoon. - -Good afternoon. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
-Some of the plunder can -be found in some homes even now... | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
-..like here in Pwllheli. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
-These plates come from the Stuart? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-These plates come from the Stuart? - -Yes, guaranteed. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
-How did you get them? -Did you steal them? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-No! | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
-One of the mates had lodgings -at Ty'n y Ffynnon, my father's home. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:50 | |
-A mate on the Stuart? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
-Yes. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
-He was on the ship all day... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-..and he slept at Ty'n y Ffynnon. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-He would bring a few items -under his coat. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-Plates weren't what drove locals -crazy, but the main cargo... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:13 | |
-..whisky. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
-Tony Jones from Rhiw... | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
-..knows many of the story's secrets. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
-Come in. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:24 | |
-Come in. - -Thank you. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
-So you have something from the ship. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-Yes, this was part of the cargo. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-It carried porcelain, bound for -New Zealand, but it never arrived. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
-Sailors called it general cargo. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-What did the ship carry? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
-What did the ship carry? - -There were six grand pianos. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
-One Llangwnadl lad hurt his back... | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
-..trying to carry one -up the sea cliff. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
-There were whisky bottles -and whisky barrels. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-That was when the fun began. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
-The closest customs -were in Caernarfon. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
-When this Easter gift -landed on the rocks of Ty Mawr... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:06 | |
-Was it plundered? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
-Yes. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
-They didn't take everything, -it was a 1,000-ton ship... | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
-..and very many cartloads -would have been needed to empty it. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-I don't think they took -even half the stuff. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-But they got most -of the important cargo. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-They say that countless containers -full of whisky were found on land... | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
-..after the ship was plundered. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
-Even today, the place -is known as Porth Whisky. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:44 | |
-There was whisky in bottles... | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
-..and in barrels as well -which held a gallon or two. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
-The lads carried -the barrels to the hilltop. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-But their barrels were stolen whilst -they went down to fetch more. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
-As a deterrent, they removed the -barrel lid and put their heads in. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
-Then no-one would steal it. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
-Some were so drunk, they slept on -the hilltop and exhaled blue fumes. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:22 | |
-I can believe it. It seems -the party lasted over six months. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
-No-one drowned that day. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
-But why did the Stuart founder? What -secrets still remain on the beach? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:40 | |
-They say there's plenty to find... | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
-..if you know where to look. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
-"Miss Pringle and the Potato" | 0:05:50 | 0:05:50 | |
-"Miss Pringle and the Potato" - -LAUGHTER | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
-The fish people, I call them. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-Oh, so that explains the fish -picture above your fireplace? | 0:05:56 | 0:06:02 | |
-Yes, it was in my front -window for a while. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-But those damn visitors were -knocking on my door at every piss... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-..asking if I was selling fish. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
-As a child, I remember hearing -the sea and a few storms. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
-I still remember -the Bardsey lighthouse... | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-..and the sound of Bardsey's horn. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-At night, in bed on my own... | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-..I could see the light -of Bardsey flashing. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
-On a foggy or stormy night, -if it wasn't too noisy... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
-..I could hear the Bardsey -horn's repeated hooting. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
-I don't think it induced sleep. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
-One industry that has been -part of life in Lleyn is fishing. | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
-Some people still -go out in every weather. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-Many would be amazed to hear that -Harri Parri is a well-known sailor. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
-It's true, he's an old hand. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-I've arranged to go -out fishing with him. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
-Harri Parri? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:19 | |
-Harri Parri? - -Yes. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
-I'm Harri Parri too. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
-I'm Harri Parri too. - -Right. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
-We're about the same size. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
-We're about the same size. - -Yes. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |
-He left a job as a builder -and turned to fishing. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
-Harri is one of seven fishermen -working out of Porth Dinllaen. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
-He's a better sailor than me! | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-One question, Harri. Can you swim? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-A little, perhaps. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-There's no pleasure -in swimming in this weather. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-Many fishermen... | 0:07:52 | 0:07:53 | |
-Many fishermen... - -Can't swim! | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-Very sensible. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
-Very sensible. - -Why? | 0:07:56 | 0:07:57 | |
-The cold will kill you -before you drown. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
-LAUGHTER | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
-What's that? Herring? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
-What's that? Herring? - -Yes. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:14 | |
-Yes. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
-It's not very fresh. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
-It's not very fresh. - -No, it's been in salt for some time. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-When it was caught, -it was alright to eat. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
-Lobster will go for it? | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-Yes, or crab. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:29 | |
-Here? | 0:08:30 | 0:08:31 | |
-Here? - -Put it in that tube. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
-That's it. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:34 | |
-Is this a northerly wind? | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
-Is this a northerly wind? - -Yes. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
-It can be rough at times. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
-It can be rough at times. - -Yes, very rough. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-This is fine weather for you. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
-Yes, today. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
-And a calm sea. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
-And a calm sea. - -Yes. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:48 | |
-You have to watch the wind. -It can rise at any time. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
-That's one, at least. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
-One lobster. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
-There are crabs in this one. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
-There are crabs in this one. - -Crabs too? | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
-That's too small. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:10 | |
-That's too small. - -Will you throw it back in? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-It can go back in. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-Is one lobster -in each pot a good catch? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
-Goodness, yes. That's a good day. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-This one is big enough to keep. -I'll put it in the bucket. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
-What happens now? Is it sent away? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
-It'll probably -go to France or Spain. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-How much would it cost in Paris? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
-How much would it cost in Paris? - -I've no idea. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:36 | |
-Ten times what I get for it! | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-Ten times what I get for it! - -Probably. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
-Do you enjoy the work? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-I enjoy it more than construction. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
-No-one complains here! | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-No-one listens, apart from the sea. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
-No, only seagulls. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-Although Harri makes a living... | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
-..there's no comparison -with former times. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
-At one time, a fish factory on this -beach employed hundreds of people. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:16 | |
-Of course, the major industry -used to be Nefyn herring. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
-There was an old song. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
-"Nefyn herring, fresh from the sea | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
-"Backs like farmers, -bellies like taverners | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-"Nefyn herring, fresh from the sea" | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
-In the second part, -the pieces fall into place... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
-..as more of the Stuart's secrets -come to light at Porth Ty Mawr. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:49 | |
-. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:50 | |
-888 | 0:10:53 | 0:10:53 | |
-888 - -888 | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
-We must remember that the only -practical way to travel... | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
-..to and from Lleyn was by sea. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
-It was very busy at one time. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-Coal was imported, -guano for the soil, animals... | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
-..and lime sometimes. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-But the trade routes also led -to new hope and a new world. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:31 | |
-It was a way to leave Lleyn. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-That's what hundreds -of people did in the early 1800s. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
-Some of my family emigrated -from Porth Colmon in 1825. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
-I know what happened to them... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-..because the journey and prayer -meeting on the beach... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
-..before they left were documented. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
-Watch over our brothers and sisters -during their long voyage... | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
-..to a better land. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
-Everyone was aware -of the dangers facing them. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
-There was no certainty that -they would reach their destination. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
-Thinking of people leaving Lleyn -from somewhere like Porth Colmon... | 0:12:34 | 0:12:40 | |
-..brings a lump to my throat. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
-They were leaving forever. -They would never meet again. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:48 | |
-Brothers, sisters, lovers, two about -to get married, parents, children. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
-Great courage was needed to take -the decision in the first place. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
-Something must have driven them. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-No-one emigrates like that -and divides a family... | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
-..unless something drives them. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
-Great poverty, or a dream, perhaps. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
-A dream of a better -life and country... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-..perhaps setting up -a small Lleyn in America. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-The fifty people who left -that day were fortunate. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
-The voyage to New York State -could take six months. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-But this crew were at sea for -only nine weeks and all survived. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
-Traces of the community -they founded can still be seen. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:45 | |
-The story of leaving -Lleyn is well-known. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
-# There's a key | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
-# In the church | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
-# A wedding ring | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
-# For the parish poor # | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
-"There's a key in the church, -a wedding ring for the parish poor | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
-"I'll return in the bell-ringer's -chest, we won't need it any more" | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
-I see a tear in your eye. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
-I feel quite emotional, -especially here in Porth Colmon. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
-Why did those fifty -people leave Lleyn? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:42 | |
-Was it because of poverty? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-The landlords set high rents. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
-People couldn't pay their taxes. -Wages were low. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
-They'd heard about people -who emigrated in the 17th century. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
-I think it was also -the period of land enclosures. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
-People lost grazing land. -There was less of it available. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
-But they must have -paid for their passage. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-They were poor. So how did they pay? | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
-Of those fifty people... | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
-..it seems that only four -could pay for their passage. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
-The rest owed money to the captain. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
-They had arranged with -the captain to work on the ship. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
-After arriving -at their destination... | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-..they were in debt for two years, -until they repaid the captain. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
-They must have been -desperate to find a better life. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
-It was tough here. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:41 | |
-It was tough here. - -Yes. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
-Porth Colmon is a special place. -It reminds me of Ireland. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
-I've had a thing about Ireland for -many years. It's similar to Lleyn. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
-They say the short -stories of Connemara... | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
-..and those of rural Lleyn -are quite similar. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
-There's a style of short story -that belongs to peninsulas... | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-..and to people who live in -the most remote stretches of land. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-MOO | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
-LAUGHTER | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
-"The Wedding of Nuala Mulligan" | 0:16:27 | 0:16:27 | |
-"The Wedding of Nuala Mulligan" - -O'Reilly went -on a pilgrimage to Canaan. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
-When offered a boat trip on the -Sea of Galilee, he asked the price. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:37 | |
-The Jew answered, "10." | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
-O'Reilly said, "No wonder -Peter walked on the water." | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
-Yes, I like people. I must do. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-What I like about some people -is that they're different. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
-People who make their own way. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
-People like that -always appeal to me. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-People who hoe their own row. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
-Ordinary people, -who might lack resources... | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
-..who struggle to live, -they appeal to me. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-I like those individuals -with different petrol in the tank... | 0:17:39 | 0:17:44 | |
-..who drive in a different direction -through wind, rain and fine weather. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:49 | |
-My great-grandfather -grew up in this harbour... | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
-..over the water, -in a humble cottage in a row. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
-He must have been quite brave. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
-As a young man, he went to distant -Australia to look for gold. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
-I don't know how much he found. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-He was brave, just to go so far. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
-When he came back from Australia... | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
-..my great-grandfather joined -the Abersoch lifeboat crew. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
-I'd like to know more about him. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
-Gareth, I'd like -to find my great-grandfather. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
-There might be a record of him here. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
-I think he was on this boat. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-Yes, that lifeboat was the Oldham. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
-Was he a pilot? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-We'd call him a coxswain today. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
-What was the boat like? | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
-What was the boat like? - -It was a sail and row boat. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
-When there was no wind, they had -to row to where they wanted to go. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:50 | |
-If the wind was favourable, -they could sail. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
-He was responsible for the boat -and directing the volunteer crew. | 0:18:54 | 0:19:00 | |
-Is this the boat? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:01 | |
-Yes. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
-Really? | 0:19:03 | 0:19:04 | |
-Where would my grandfather be? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
-Here. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
-Does he look like me? | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
-Does he look like me? - -Yes, he looks a lot like you. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
-But a braver man, I'm sure. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
-I don't know about that! | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
-They're all men, but there's -one woman here. Who is she? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-This lady was responsible for -raising the crew in an emergency. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
-She'd go to knock on doors. -She was known as the knocker-upper. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
-Really? | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
-Really? - -Yes. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:34 | |
-Very interesting. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
-How often are you called out -to an emergency in a year? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-This year, since February, -we've been out fourteen times. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
-We've been out four times this week. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-That often! | 0:19:56 | 0:19:57 | |
-Yes. We can usually launch the boat -within five minutes after a call. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
-As quickly as that. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
-Back in Porth Whisky... | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
-..some of the secrets of the -Stuart's wreck are still hidden. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:25 | |
-But Bryn Jones, the landowner, -knows where to look. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:32 | |
-Ah! | 0:20:34 | 0:20:35 | |
-There you are. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
-Are these from the Stuart? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-Yes, for sure. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
-There's an edge here, a pot perhaps. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-Why were these found here whereas -the ship and sea were over there? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
-I don't know why that was. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-There's more here again. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
-There's plenty here. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
-Perhaps someone hid them, -after taking them from the ship. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
-Things were hidden, weren't they? | 0:21:06 | 0:21:07 | |
-Things were hidden, weren't they? - -Yes, so they say. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
-Whisky was hidden in rabbit warrens -and all sorts of places. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
-I have an inkling that the people of -Llangwnadl stole most of the cargo. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
-Everything they could carry. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-What exactly happened -on that day in 1901... | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
-..when the Stuart was wrecked -on Ty Mawr's rocks, in calm sea? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:35 | |
-Ioan Roberts grew up locally and -is quite an expert on the subject. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:40 | |
-What was the true story? | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
-It's probable that there was a link -between the cargo and the disaster. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:52 | |
-Nineteen young men with thousands of -free whisky bottles around them... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:57 | |
-..and no supervisor. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
-In short, the crew were drunk. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
-In short, the crew were drunk. - -Yes, captain and crew. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-The official verdict was that -the ship hadn't been sailed... | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
-"..with proper and seamanlike care." | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
-Even children were drunk, it seems. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
-There were all sorts of stories. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
-I heard some of the old people -tell this story. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
-A young girl filled her bloomers -with bottles and couldn't walk... | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
-..because of their weight. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
-Lleyn courtesy is well known. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
-You won't believe this... | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
-..but I have a whisky bottle here. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
-This comes from the Stuart, 1901. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
-Well, well, well! | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
-As you see... | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
-You've drunk some of it. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
-Not quite! It has evaporated. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
-Yes. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:46 | |
-That's from the Stuart. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:48 | |
-That's from the Stuart. - -Thank you. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:49 | |
-I have another here. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
-One each? Well! Shall we -maintain the old tradition? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
-I'll wish you good health. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
-If you want to know where I got -the whisky, I'm not telling you. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
-I'm not telling -whether we drank it either. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
-The sea has been important to the -people of Lleyn over the centuries. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:18 | |
-And the tide still ebbs and flows. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
-The sea is essential -to the life of Lleyn today... | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
-..as it will be in the future. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
