Thomas Francis Meagher (1823–1867) was a famous Irish patriot of the mid-nineteenth century whose agitation for independence from Britain led to his exile from the Emerald Isle. After settling in New York in 1852, Meagher visited Charleston several times to deliver public lectures on history and politics. South Carolina's Irish immigrants embraced him as a national hero during the 1850s, but denounced Meagher in 1861 when he fought against the rebellious Confederate States. On the next episode of Charleston Time Machine, we'll explore the context and legacy of Meagher's brief connection to the Palmetto City.

W wigilię świętego Patryka parę słów o symbolach narodowych niepodległej Irlandii. Historia trójkolorowej flagi jest całkiem niedługa ale jakże ciekawa. W pierwszej połowie XIX wieku na wyspie narodził się ruch Młoda Irlandia (irl. Éire Óg), stanowiący odłam podziemnego niepodległościowego ruchu irlandzkiego. Éire Óg hołdowała hasłom radykalnym i rewolucyjnym, zapowiadała walkę o niepodległość, w 1848 z jej inicjatywy rozpoczęło się nieudane i szybko stłumione powstanie. Dziś przez złośliwców nazywane bywa sarkastycznie bitwą na grządce kapusty w ogrodzie wdowy McCormack. Wśród liderów organizacji był Thomas Francis Meagher. Thomas zanim wzniecił powstanie, odwiedził ze współpracownikami Francję aby pogratulować francuskim rewolucjonistom sukcesu w obaleniu Ludwika Filipa. Podczas tego pobytu francuskie rewolucjonistki, przyjaźnie nastawione do „irlandzkiej sprawy”, podarowały Meagherowi jedwabną, trzykolorowa flagę. Trzy pionowe pasy: zielony, biały i pomarańczowy. Zielony symbolizuje irlandzkich katolików, pomarańczowy protestantów, a biały pojednanie między nimi. Piękna idea. Meagher wrócił z flagą do Irlandii i zaproponował ją jako symbol niepodległości. I to się przyjęło ale po latach. Trójkolorowa narodowa flaga Irlandii była wykorzystana podczas powstania wielkanocnego w 1916 roku. Później została przyjęta przez Republikę Irlandzką podczas irlandzkiej wojny o niepodległość (1919-1921), a po podpisaniu w 1922 traktatu angielsko-irlandzkiego a trójkolorowa flaga została oficjalnie flagą narodową. Tymczasem przed flagą trójkolorową symbolem niepodległościowym Irlandii była złota harfa na zielonym tle. Do osiemnastego wieku tłem dla harfy był kolor lazurowy, a Anglicy na znak panowania nad Irlandią dodawali nad harfą koronę. Chcąc zaakcentować dążenia niepodległościowe Irlandczycy wykorzystując swój symbol pozbyli się korony nad harfą a w tle dali kolor zielony symbolizujący katolików, to wśród katolików przeważały postawy narodowe. Wywieszanie „harp without the crown”, rozpoczęło się na morzu, pierwszy zieloną flagę wywiesił prawdopodobnie Eoghanowi Ruadh Ó Néillowi XVII-wieczny wygnaniec i żołnierz irlandzkiej brygady armii hiszpańskiej. Jego okręt, św. Franciszek, w 1642 r. stojąc na kotwicy w Dunkierce w drodze do Irlandii, miał podniesioną na topie masztu "irlandzką harfę na zielonym polu". Ó Néill wracał do Irlandii, aby wziąć udział w wojnie konfederackiej. Póżniej warianty zielonej flagi z harfą były używane podczas powstania w 1798 i przez irlandzkich emigrantów służących w obcych armiach. A dziś złota harfa bez korony na zielonym tle jest banderą irlandzkiej marynarki wojennej. O złotej harfie, bez korony, na zielonym tle opowiada dzisiejsza piosenka. Powstała jako szanta kabestanowa, dziś często śpiewana również jako forebitter. Pochodzi prawdopodobnie z XIX wieku. Najwcześniejsza wzmianka o niej pochodzi z książki „Round the Horn Before the Mast” Basila Lubbocka z 1902 roku. Lubbock opowiada w książce o rejsie czteromasztową barką Royalshire z Frisco do Glasgow wokół Przylądka Horn. Wspomina w niej, wśród wielu innych pieśni, o „The Gals of Dublin Town” jako o bardzo popularnej szancie. Istnieją dwie wersje tekstu, jedna dotyczy ogólnych tematów żeglarskich: pogody, skarg załogi, kierunków żeglugi. Druga opisuje statek, bandery, przygody załogi i kapitana. I takiej wersji posłuchamy. Opowiada ona o „Shenandoah”, amerykańskim kliprze, który wypływał z Nowego Jorku pod dowództwem kapitana Jima „Shotguna” Murphy'ego. Refren piosenki traktuje o pięknych dziewczynach z Dublin Town ale też sławi „harfę bez korony”, nawiązując tym samym do zwyczaju Murphy'ego, który wieszał właśnie taką banderę pod banderą amerykańską. Tak czyniło podobno wielu irlandzkich kapitanów u obcych armatorów. Audycja zawiera utwór: "The Girls of Dublin Town” w wykonaniu Gaelic Storm, słowa i muzyka: tradycyjne @jarasaseasongi znajdziesz na facebooku i YouTube :-)
