The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales has just posted a story about the winners of a Tell Us Your Story competition, who were announced at a bash in Flintshire Record Office. Six films based on some of the entries have been made, with amongst them a tale of shipping losses caused by the Great Gale of 1859, which battered the Welsh coast.
It's a great post, with links to other resources on the Great Gale, and can be read at http://heritageofwalesnews.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/tragic-stories-of-great-gale-among.html
