We Own Laurentic, is the story of the famous Gold Ship, Laurentic. A White Star Liner laid down in Belfast, it was carrying five million in gold bullion to Canada to buy arms for the War effort when it was mined at the mouth of Lough Swilly, Ireland in 1917. It sank in forty metres of water with the loss of 354 men. From 1917 to 1921 royal navy divers salvaged over 3,000 gold bars. Twenty bars of gold still lie among the wreckage of the Laurentic that is strewn over a wide area and many divers have sought her treasure. In 2017 there was a one hundred year commemoration held in Donegal, Ireland, where the Laurentic sank. This updated book has more photographs and contains information from many of the descendants of the Laurentic dead who attended.

Patrick's Gift

The hare¿s threatening, growling, sound made the hairs on the back of his neck bristle and, all of a sudden, Patrick remembered the sound he had heard as he entered the Whinnies: it was the same sound.    Patrick¿s Gift is a magical, wondrous story of Patrick, a young boy growing up in Derry, in   Northern Ireland. Bullied at school, he is befriended by an old lady who instructs him to visit the ancient fairy circle of stones on a nearby hilltop.    Facing vicious crows, murderous rabbits and hares, Patrick meets the Luricans¿leprechauns or ¿wee folk¿¿and his adventure begin as he gets his gift, not knowing just how important it is to his very life as he does battle with monsters!    ¿The monster was at least as tall and as wide as a house. The grotesque, many-legged thing roared louder. Its wide hair-covered mouth with its row-upon-row of pointed teeth bubbled with black saliva.¿    A modern fairy-tale, Patrick¿s Gift is the work of Derry author Jack Scoltock, with original cover art by Donegal artist, John Quigley, of Carrowmenagh.
