The famous Guinness advert featuring Tom Crean started in 2002, highlighting his incredible Antarctic survival story and his later life as a pub owner, becoming a classic ad that revived interest in the unsung Irish hero. The ad, part of the “Good Things...” campaign’s experimental phase, showcased Crean’s legendary solo walk to save a comrade during the Terra Nova Expedition and his return to Kerry to run The South Pole Inn. #irish #advert #guinness #antarctic #explorer | Echoes Of Erin

Taking the opportunity to undertake some alongside handling trials, we captured some cool footage of Tom Crean pushing through the waves. P&O Sahm is destined for P&O Maritimes operations in the GCC region. | Safehaven Marine | Facebook
