Description |
Group of abandoned fishing boats on the foreshore of Bagh Beag. Includes the Emmanuelle, a clinker-built undecked Fifie, built on the east coast and later retro-fitted with a deck; the Morningstar, a 1930s Zulu built with a motor (possibly from Fife); and the Dove, a Zulu sailing drifter retrofitted with an engine. |
Comments |
The history of these boats and the general history of fishing on Barra was recorded in an interview with Calum MacNeil in May 2016. |
