Frances recently gave an excellent interview to the producers of The Mariner’s Mirror Podcast in the UK (one of the most popular maritime podcasts in the world) about the Davison family and the Alice A. Leigh/Rewa . The interview was so fascinating, in fact, that they decided to turn it into a two-part series and uploaded it on International Day of the Seafarer.Hannah Davison parented SIX children aboard the barque Alice A. Leigh (renamed Rewa in 1921), two of whom were buried at sea. The Mariner’s Mirror website features a number of photos, supplied by Frances, of Hannah’s scrapbooks, which include recipes and drawings by her young children. This is a side of maritime history which is seldom told (that being the stories of wāhine, and nga whaea in particular) and with Frances’ evident passion and expertice, it makes for a delightful listen (although you’ll have to excuse the host’s almost comical mis-pronounciation of te reo Māori kupu 😃).You can tune-in for free via the Mariner’s Mirror Podccast website:   Part One<https://snr.org.uk/the-mariners-mirror-podcast/maritime-motherhood-part-1-the-davison-family-and-the-alice-a-leigh-rewa/> (33 minutes)*   Part Two<https://snr.org.uk/the-mariners-mirror-podcast/maritime-motherhood-part-2-hannah-davisons-scrapbook/> (20 minutes)
