I believe that HMS Valiant operated out of Tarbert. Can anyone verify this for me? My great-great grandfather served on Valiant from 1869-1874. I'd also be interested in some pointers to information about the station at Tarbert. There's so much on the net that it would be useful to know a few good sites (if there are any!). Many thanks Jo |

Hi again Jo If you follow the link below this seems to confirm that Valiant was operating out of Tarbert: http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/18-1900/U/04955.html Regards Martin |

Hello again! Ive been to Paul's excellent site many times and always find something of relevance and/or interest. I'm really interested in the actual station which the Valiant was attached to this time. I can find virtually nothing on the web and wondered if anybody had any good sources they coiuld pass on. Cheers! Jo |

I've just discovered that JMQ's daughter, Hannah Sarah, was born in Freeport, Barna ( which I believe is now a suburb of Galway City). Would this seem like a sensible place for someone stationed at Tarbert to be living? |
