CurrachsAre light skin covered boats once found in all the Celtic lands but now exclusive to Ireland. They are light seaworthy craft without a keel which ride large ocean waves and skim up shallow rivers. The first written record of the currachs comes from Julius Caesar in 100 BC Early Gaelic accounts speak of large ocean going sailing currachs roving the North Atlantic.
