Traditional Heritage Boat Surveys

Книга на английском языке
Ireland’s inland waterways provide sanctuary to a diversity of heritage boats. Diverse in size and shape, age, purpose, speed, capacity and condition, ranging from the Irish built Canal Boats and Barges, native to work on these waterways to narrow, fragile Canoes and Rowing Skiffs built purely for recreation. There are vessels associated with World War II, early 20th century Sailing Dinghies, English Narrow Boats, local fleets of Cots, a Norwegian Lifeboat and the bracauns and gandelows peculiar to Limerick. These heritage boats represent strands of Ireland’s social, economic, industrial and political past. Their survival is a tribute to the allure of being afloat, of being connected to a boat with a story, and to the generous commitment of the people who embrace that attraction.
