Today, 16th February, is the day we remember and celebrate the birth of a legend. There are a vast number of descendants of those colleagues he saved, who owe their very existence to Tom Crean
Please take a moment this day, to remember , or to raise a glass, to a great Irish Hero

@JayneMcCubbinTV @DementiaDisco @BBCBreakfast A great initiative and it's a great buzz for any band to see a full dance floor during their performance. Looking forward to the next one.

@NoahSabich Never saw anyone wear the Creany Beany like the man himself but on this occasion Finn gets the nod from me.

The different destinies of two of Tom Crean's neighbours. Both shared the same name and joined the Navy in 1893, as Crean did. All three served aboard the same training ship, HMS Impregnable.

Did you know that, before Tom Crean set foot on Antarctica, his fledgling years in the Navy took him on missions to some of the warmest places on our planet?

Possibly the last photograph ever taken of Tom Crean and on this day, 87 years ago, he drew his last breath.
After discovering his epic story, his is a name that readers of all ages will never forget.

When they reassess the history of expeditions to Antarctica in the years to come, they need to remember this.

@irelandbattles Crean was born, on or shortly before his baptismal date of 16 February 1877.
An incorrect date of birth was applied as 25 February on his birth certificate. 16 Feb is the date to celebrate his birth
