As Waterford and the Port of Waterford celebrate 1,111 years this year, and to mark the occasion, Ireland’s oldest Port has launched a brand new podcast series ‘Port of Waterford 1111’ which explores the Port’s rich and varied maritime heritage. The new podcast series is hosted by a well-known voice in the maritime space, Tom McSweeney, host of RTE’s Seascapes radio programme.

In the podcast, we’ll journey through time to explore the rich and fascinating history of the Port and the city of Waterford — two stories deeply intertwined since the Vikings first dropped anchor in Waterford over a millennium ago.

We’ll also take you behind the scenes to meet the people who keep the modern port running — the dedicated team members who play a vital role in Ireland’s trade and transport network today. Whether you’re a maritime enthusiast, a history lover, or simply curious about what makes this historic port so special, there’s something here for you.
