Paperback. Condition: new. McCullagh, Richard; Carson, G.J.A. (illustrator). Paperback. This is the story of the 1963 re-enactment of the sea voyage made by St.Columba in the 6th Century (563 A.D.) from Derry, Northern Ireland to Iona in the Hebrides aboard a traditional Irish curragh.Canon John Barry, the instigator of it all, tells the story with the dry humour of an Ulsterman, savoring the outlandish original idea and how it was shaped, aided by a growing band of supporters, into a grand adventure of faith and fraternity. Barry writes in a self-deprecating way, claiming expertise in nothing. For him, the heroes are the skipper, the designer, the boat builder, the other crew members and the curragh. But beneath his commentary, his own engaging and passionate influence shines.This book is a facsimile edition of the original 1964 book. It will interest modern-day pilgrims who wish to learn more about St.Columba and his historic decision to leave Ireland for Scotland, as well as the path he and his followers took. But more than that, for those interested in ancient craft and the sea, the skipper, Wallace Clark, reflects on the decision to build a curragh. He tells us of the design, building and her sailing performance and reflects on how the vessel might have been improved with hindsight. This is the story of the 1963 re-enactment of the sea voyage made by St.Columba in the 6th Century (563 A.D.) from Derry, Northern Ireland to Iona in the Hebrides aboard a traditional Irish curragh.

Add to basketpaperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
