So that makes you a Ten Pound Pom, Gordon?

There are three possibilities which Mr Hood travelled to Glasgow on business; 
Andrew, Nathaniel & Samuel all listed as shopkeepers in the Householders in 
Newtownstewart, Co. Tyrone 1833-4

Quite a feat. In similar vein: when we sailed to Oz in 1948 it took 4 weeks. 
Recently a friend mentioned a cruise from here to Southampton which took 7 
weeks! (Mind you, the cruise ship went via the Cape of Good Hope and not the 
Suez Canal as we did.)

Hello Listers,

Have extracted the following surprising report from 1835:



December 8 1835; Londonderry Journal

Travelling Extraordinary: MR. HOOD, of Newtownstewart, left home for Glasgow, 
on Thursday morning, the 26th ult., and sailed per the “St. Columb” (from 
Londonderry); transacted business in Glasgow, and having returned by the 
“Foyle”, reached home on Saturday at 7 o’clock, PM.



This journey would have also have required coach travel between Newtownstewart 
and Londonderry and presumably the same again in Glasgow. A remarkable event.
