Seller's Description:
Good. Moderate shelfwear, some marks and creases on front and back covers, discolouration around textblock, previous owner's name inscribed on first page, pages clean and bright inside. Trade paperback (US). 136 p. First published in 1983, The Galway Hookers went into its fourth edition in 2004. In the first definitive work on the subject, he maintained that the Galway hookers had no close counterparts elsewhere in the 19th century. Whereas other maritime historians traced the origins of the craft to Holland and Norway, he argued that it was not "unreasonable for Galwaymen to lay claim to the hooker as their own, a very special craft tailor-made for their waters and to their needs". Built for the deep waters of the Atlantic, they were originally designed as fishing craft. Galway Bay was once famous for its herring shoals before these moved south to Kinsale; turf-carrying was a later and secondary occupation for the hookers. **If you have any queries about this book, please do not hesitate to contact us at hello@ravenbooks. ie**
