O'Donnell E. Father Browne's Australia

Wolfhound Press, 1995. — 117 p.On April 8 1912, Francis Browne, a theology student studying for the Roman Catholic priesthood left Dublin carrying a First Class ticket for the Southampton- Cherbourg- Queenstown (now Cobh) segments of the maiden voyage of the ‘unsinkable’ liner, the RMS Titanic.This extraordinary man carried his camera everywhere and documented life everywhere he went – all over Ireland, and including Australia and England and other places across the world. Some years after his death in 1960, a fellow Jesuit priest, Fr Eddie O’Donnell, happened upon an old trunk with ‘Fr Browne’s Photographs’ written in chalk. It contained some 42,000 negatives, with many in poor condition.
