What is recorded here
William Beatty is a birthplace in County Derry, Ireland. Perhaps a British naval surgeon drew his first breath there in April 1773, entering the world with salt already waiting in his lungs. Maybe he carried that Derry air into hospital ships and battle wounds, translating local vitality into distant mercy.
