Hegarty's Boatyard Building Brian O'Conor's SAOIRSE - Kevin O'Farrell
Hegarty’s Boatyard – Building Conor O’Brien’s Saoirse a photographic monograph by Kevin O’Farrell
“Watching these boatbuilders at work today offers an insight into previous generations of such craftsmen, as their tools and skills remain unchanged. Unfortunately, however, these traditions are in danger of being lost now as very few young people take up careers in wooden boatbuilding. This would represent a tragedy for our island nation, so I feel honoured to witness and record this extraordinary craftsmanship for future generations. This book is my tribute to the wonderful living maritime heritage that is still practiced daily in Hegarty’s Boatyard.” Kevin O’Farrell
