Danny Dowling’s Appearance in Land & Sea: Talamh an Eisc
Commencing in 1964 the Canadian Broadcasting Co. began producing a television series entitled Land & Sea which went on to become their longest running series. In 1984 two Newfoundland men travelled to England and Ireland to visit their ancestoral lands. In this episode narrated by Dave Quinton, our very own Village Historian, Danny Dowling (1927-2021) appeared. In addition to the fascinating details that are provided regarding the descendents of the Irish in Newfoundland there is also some interesting footage of local scenery, New Ross and Waterford from the early 1980’s.
