In today's Anglo-Celtic Connections blog is mention that The Irish Times is celebrating 150 years and giving free access to it's archives except the portion called "Find your Ancestor". I searched for Hawaii and came across an interesting article on the eruption of Mauna Loa Volcano in 1857. Mention also in June 1859 of the wreck of the Eastern Monarch a Dundee built ship. Never know what you might find of interest http://www.irishtimes.com/150/ Arlene
