Outing to Passage East with John Burke 10/08/2023

Join us for an outing to historic Passage East, on the west shore of Waterford Harbour. Passage East's location has meant that over the centuries it has been a fishing port, fortress and ferry point. The village's rich heritage reflects these various functions. 

Our outing will be led by John Burke, noted local historian and author.

In 1783, Passage East was chosen as the site of New Geneva, in an ambitious plan to relocate the residents of Geneva. Professor Richard Whatmore from St Andrew's University brings us back to the events of the time.
