Hooker, Galway Bay, Ireland

Fishing boats in Ireland are called Hookers. In fact, later on I have a photo of one moored that was called the "Happy Hooker". This one was out for some reason while we were crossing Galway Bay on our way to the Aran Islands.

Watch Tower, Rossaveal, Ireland

These towers have a name, but I forget what they’re called. They were used to watch the sea, and were built in defense of a potential invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte, who they thought might use Ireland as an invasion point for England.
