*eeek* that’s a suburb of Dublin where that harbour is. My son goes sailing there every week. Good to see them out and about and working with Irish vessels. Mind you, I would’ve thought curraghs were not invented yet in the 12th century…
Guylty, Saint Brendan used one, so they must go way back, though the ancient ones may have looked a bit more… ancient. I think they were wood covered with hide. Also, remember that amazing vessel in the National Museum in Dublin? It’s like a dugout canoe.
True. Less regularly built. Also a bit rounder? Or maybe that’s a different vessel? I have a model of one such in my bathroom. Might snap a pic later. Off to the theatre now.
Might be able to… take up position in a tent, thermal underwear, sleeping bag and long lens at the ready? Lol. No. But I suddenly have the great desire to buy some fish for supper tomorrow…

Yeah, those round ones! I always wonder how they could get anywhere in those. It seems like you’d just go around in circles.
