The Davin Boat (An Cruiscín) The Boat is a unique example of a four oar-sculling skiff of light clinker construction and copper fastened. The boat is a unique example of mid to late 19th century lap stroke construction. The moulded treatment of the steamed frames has not been documented before, according to Historian & Shipwright, Michael Kennedy. The level of craft and skill in the artefact is extremely high. Venue: The Permanent Gallery, South Tipperary Co Museum, Clonmel |

| Further Info: In May 2006, Pat Walsh, grandnephew of Maurice Davin, donated the ‘Cruiskeen’ to South Tipperary County Museum. Grant aid and sponsorship resulted in the boat being sent to the Conservation Centre in Letterfrack for restoration. The journey of the boat’s removal from the cowshed back to the Museum was the subject of a ‘Nationwide’ programme shown on R.T.E in 2006. Maurice Davin would have been flattered by the men and women that afforded so much of their time to the research, display and conservation of his prized rowing boat – ‘The Cruiskeen’ .

| Further Info: The former chief photographer of The Nationalist has assembled a wonderful, atmospheric collection of pictures from town and county life in the Sixties and Seventies. The period covers the years when Clonmel was at its most diverse economically, politically and socially. They were the years that would change forever the way we were with the birth of economic unity with Europe. Since then many of Clonmel’s factories and craft industries have vanished. The exhibition is proving to be a huge success with hundreds visiting Tipperary’s very impressive County Museum. The museum is taking orders for reprints of these timeless photographs.
