Title
Photograph of Patcheen Faherty Sealing the bottom of a currach.
Description
Photograph of Patcheen Faherty Sealing the bottom of a currach with tar, Aran Islands. The boat lies slightly to the left, beside a dry stone wall. Patcheen stands to the right, 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. A stoney beach mets the Sea in the right background. Two houses are visible further back.
