Short description: A nostalgic RareGer heritage card celebrating the famous Derry Boat that carried generations of Donegal people between Derry and Glasgow in search of work, family and opportunity.

Full description: For generations, the Derry Boat was far more than a passenger ship. Sailing between Derry and Glasgow, it became a lifeline for Donegal families travelling to Scotland for seasonal work, shipyards, factories and a better future.

Featuring vintage quayside scenes, luggage, tickets, newspaper headlines and the route across the Irish Sea, this RareGer design honours the courage, resilience and enduring connection between Donegal and Scotland.

It is a story of leaving home… and always finding the road back.
