This book covers not only the well-known ones; the wooden angling boats of Lough Corrib; the ubiquitous Curach Adhmaid; the fishing boats - Lobster Boats, Trawlers and Half-Deckers; the Barges and Hire Cruisers of the Shannon; the Flats, Yawls and Currachs of the oyster fishery; the clinker punts and cots of the Shannon callows, and many more
