The year 2021 in the timeline of Tom Crean was significant for two major announcements. The second of these, after the Irish government sanctioned the naming of a scientific vessel in Crean’s name, was the substantial revisions made to his story after the Royal Irish Academy had been handed all the evidence and sources that were used to write the biography Crean – The Extraordinary Life of an Irish Hero.
Their decision, after examination of the documents, brought about changes to Crean’s article entry in the Dictionary of Irish Biography. To read more about the changes and the farce that still sees misleading accounts of Tom Crean’s life sitting on bookshelves and being taught in schools, check out this blog post.
