The Davin Boat (Cruiskeen) 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’ .
