General Description:

The Naomh Brigid was built by Tyrells of Arklow in 1932.

This vessel was built as a 36ft Motor Fishing Vessel (MFV) and fished continously right up to 1990

Any other information.

The boat is constructed of 1¼" larch planking on Oak frames, with double framing midships in the hold area and an Iroko deck on Pine beams.

The vessel was originally fitted with a Bolander single cylinder diesel engine, which was later replaced with a modern Perkins four cylinder diesel.

 

Recording of this vessel has been part funded by the

Heritage Council of Ireland
