Unveiling in Brooklyn
A true Manxman has been remembered in America on the 155th anniversary of his death.
A memorial stone has been unveiled at a Brooklyn cemetery, the final resting place of noted poet, engineer and inventor William Kennish.
He died in New York on March the 19th, 1862, and was buried in a unmarked grave, having emigrated to the United States 13 years earlier.
James Davis spoke to Paul Moulton of MTTV shortly after the ceremony.
