Off in a Currach
Here on the Wild Atlantic Way we see this fisherman rowing a Currach. There were a few of these tradition boats around here and in reality he was probably putting it away for the night.
The Currach is probably the best-known of the Wild Atlantic Way’s iconic boats, with slightly different versions native to the counties of Donegal, Kerry, Clare, Galway and Mayo. Traditionally, this small, curved rowing boat was made by placing animal hide cured in a special mixture of plant life over wooden slats. Tar was then painted over the boat, to seal the places where the skins met. Today however, canvas and resin are sometimes used as substitutes for animal skins and tar.
