EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the timeless beauty and tradition of coracle boats, also known as curraghs, in use along the Irish coastline. The main photograph showcases a group of coracles, their distinctive conical shape and delicate construction on full display as they bob gently in the tranquil waters at sunset. The boats, a vital means of transport for communities in Ireland and Wales for centuries, have been an integral part of the region's rich maritime history. In the inset, a man is seen carrying a smaller, Welsh-style coracle, its size and form reminiscent of the larger boats in the background. The scene transports us back in time, to an era when these boats were the primary mode of transportation and communication between coastal communities. The landscape, with its rugged cliffs, crashing waves, and golden sunset, adds to the sense of history and tradition. The coracle, a simple yet ingenious design, has been in use since at least the 1880s. Made from a single piece of woven hazel or willow, covered in hide or canvas, these boats were lightweight, maneuverable, and could be easily transported over land. The coracle's versatility and adaptability made it an essential tool for fishing, trading, and travel in the often treacherous waters of the Irish Sea and the Celtic Sea. As the sun sets and the day comes to an end, the coracle boats, like the communities that depended on them, continue to stand the test of time, a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who have called these shores home for generations.
