Description
Photograph of Patcheen Faherty Sealing the bottom of a currach with tar, Aran Islands. Patcheen stands to the right in front of the currach, facing left, brushing on the tar from an old black cooking pot at his feet. Large stones are used to keep the currach in place. Behind the boat runs a dry stone wall. Both the wall and the grassy bank, in the foreground, are sloped from left to right.
