Kinsale Harbour by John Thuillier

Kinsale emerged as a settlement in the 6th century and began trading with English and continental ports. Its deep harbour provided safe anchorage and prospered during the 'golden age of sail'. Comprehensive overview of Kinsale's seafaring tradition will be enjoyed by all who appreciate a whiff of salty spray and the adventure attached to ships.

"Thuillier's book is as indispensable to knowing Kinsale as a rudder is to a boat"

* Irish Examiner *

"Should be widely appreciated."

John R. Thuillier is steeped in Kinsale's maritime tradition. He is a retired director of Kinsale Further Education College which evolved from projects designed to introduce the maritime environment and training in marine skills. A lifetime involvement with boats provided the opportunity to sail and cruise extensively. He has contributed to books, including the acclaimed Traditional Boats of Ireland (2008), and journals on a range of subjects and lectured widely on the history of Kinsale.
