    3. Perhaps you can locate copies of these recently published books (2001) if the subject interests you: 1. Father Browne's photographs taken over his lifetime numbered 42,000 in all, most, but not all, taken in Ireland in a 60-year period ending in 1957; they form a very important Irish image archive, particularly those regarding Dublin and the "Titanic." The title of one well-loved book was published in the United States as the "Last Days of Titanic." Father Browne disembarked the ship before it sank. A more recent companion volume is "Father Browne's Ships and Shipping," the latter photographs ploughed from the seven seas with maritime photos other than those connected with the ill-fated "Titanic." I believe that the editor of both books is E. E. O'Donnell, "Wolfhound" press. Many of Fr. Browne's photographs appear in previously-published books and magazines. 2. "A Century in Focus, Photography and Photographers in the North of Ireland 1839-1939," by W. A. Maguire, "Blackstaff Press." This most interesting book is finely illustrated with early photographs of men and women of the nine Ulster counties and the world in which they lived.
