The Second Sea: An illustrated talk from ex-skipper Des Hannigan


Des Hannigan talks about the SECOND SEA, his name for the impressions that professional seagoers retain in their deep memory.

The talk is built round excerpts about the sea from the works of famous writers and poets and also from Atlantic Cornwall, Des Hannigan’s own popular trilogy of prose and poetry about Cornish deep water fishing and the county’s extreme sea cliff landscapes.

Des is a journalist and travel writer who has written over fifty books for Lonely Planet and AA Publishing.
