Two centuries ago sail & oar dominated local Irish trade & fisheries. At least 60 types of traditional boats operated such as flat-bottomed craft smooth hulled skin boats (curachs) Viking-style clinker sailing yawls & great carvel-built hookers. This remarkable work many years in the making & arranged by coastal area describes these craft their construction & handling usage & history with recollections by those who experienced the often arduous life associated with them.
