ISBN 0-9547915-0-9
Dating back into the mists of time, the traditional sailing workboats of Galway Bay have plied the rough Atlantic seas, serving the maritime needs of the rugged coats of Connemara. A remarkable successful restoration movement has saved these Galway Hookers from virtual extinction. This profusely illustrated record, surveys the story of the hookers, and the environments that bred them in the West of Ireland.
