Aengus Burns has been confirmed as the new president of Galway Chamber. He said he was "hugely honoured and humbled" to have been elected to the position and outlined his key priorities for the year ahead.

The first steamer service to the Aran Islands began almost 150 years ago, in 1872, with a paddle tug called The Citie of the Tribes. She was operated by the Galway Steamship Company and was also used to tow barques and other sailing vessels to and from Galway port.

The Citie of the Tribes was the name given to the first steamboat to sail on the bay. She was built in South Shields and registered on December 24, 1872, for the pioneering Galway Steamboat Company and her arrival here was hailed as the precursor of the new shipping millennium, the era of steam.

If you want to enjoy a memorable experience why not get on down to the Galway Harbour and hop on board Ireland's largest passenger sailing yacht, the Atlantic Blue.
