Now the ship is in the charter business at £35,000 a week. Her passengers enjoy the romance of voyaging under sail while living in luxury worthy of a millionairess. Narrator TOM SALMON

A series of 13 programmes Written and presented by Robert Kee
12: Six Counties
From its foundation in 1921, the new Protestant state of Northern Ireland proclaimed its loyalty to the United Kingdom, protected by the armed Royal Ulster Constabulary and ' B' Special Reserves against internal and external threats. The minority Catholic and Nationalist population suffered widespread discrimination for nearly 50 years. In the late 1960s, the frustration of Catholics boiled over. Civil rights marchers were batoned and stoned by Unionist mobs. The British Armv was sent in to protect Catholics but killed 13 Catholics in Derry on Bloody Sunday. (The IRA had already seized the opportunity to exploit the situation.) After more terror and bloodshed, direct rule from Westminster was imposed on Northern Ireland. A Protestant general strike defeated an attempt at sharing power between the two communities.
