Am I prolific?
A slightly battered boat in Ballycotton, Co Cork.
The Sherkin Island Fishing Boat
A fishing boat with the registration code C353P sits moored in the low-tide mud in Sherkin Island. It sits opposite the island library and has been a feature of the island for as long as I remember. However, it was missing during a visit in 2017, and this gallery of Sherkin Island photos shows an…
A Maritime Giant
A container ship dwarfs the pier where Spike Island tours have their office at Cobh.
Los Gigantes Marina at sunset
The cliffs of Los Gigantes reflect the yellow light of the setting sun, while puny, tiny, boats lie moored in the harbour beneath. The size of the cliffs is astounding, easily dwarfing anything else nearby.
HNLMS Dolfijn Visits Cork
In 2003, the Dutch submarine, Dolfijn, or Dulfun, visited Cork for a few days. I happened to be around town and spotted it from Kennedy Quay where I’d been photographing the ships, buildings and machinery. When it left Cork, it headed to Mallorca.

The Sherkin Boat
If you walk over to Cow Strand on Sherkin Island, you’ll come across this boat, maybe. At least in 2015 you would have. It might be gone by now. Take a look at Google Maps. I think that’s this boat.
A man and the R&H Hall
As we were photographing the R&H Hall building the other morning, Henry spotted a boat, the Simon Princess, sailing towards us. I thought the boat might pull in on the other side of the river, but no, it stopped just a few metres away. As it passed slowly, I caught a nice photo of one…
The Kennedy Quay Skyline
Kennedy Quay this morning as the sun rose, with R&H Hall in the centre of the image, as this skyline will disappear in the next few months. Note: the sky has been replaced. It was a very dull, overcast day. Hopefully, this is more pleasing to the eye. The old R&H Hall building has not…

Jewel of the Sea and the Lighthouse
The bow of The Jewel of the Sea pictured passing Roches Point Lighthouse as it leaves Cork Harbour.
Sailing past Roches Point
A sailing boat sails past Roche’s Point Lighthouse at the mouth of Cork Harbour. It was a lovely August evening last year. The days were long and the sun was shining!
The Windy Tall Ship
The tall ship Windy is the official flagship of the City of Chicago. Appropriately named.
