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. Many examples of traditional craft are still part of the fabric of coastal & inland water communities today as work boats & pleasure boats. A revival in traditional boats for leisure & sport allows them to prosper as many are restored & replicas built. Traditional Boats of Ireland goes beyond technical descriptions of boats to the background of their use. Changing patterns of fishing & water transport are considered & the wider role of boats in peoples lives
- boat racing dramas at sea & other stories of human interest. This brings alive the array of craft once a feature of our coasts lakes & rivers. Line & construction plans archival & modern photographs & illustrations historical documents local tradition & folklore all combine to piece together this story of traditional boats. It is a story that will appeal to the specialist & general reader alike & to all whose lives are touched in different ways by the power & wonder of the sea.

Since 1994 local historians boat-builders sailors former fishermen & classic boat enthusiasts were press-ganged to collect information & to prepare studies of individual boat types. The results of this unique project have been brought together & edited by Criostoir Mac Carthaigh of the UCD Centre for Irish Folklore with the help of Donal Mac Polin an illustrator & maritime historian.
