| :::: The Davin Boat |
 |
Date: Permanent display
Location: County Museum
Contact: 051 - 6134550
|
| 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’
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.

| In the parish of Lattin and Cullen, a landlord had goaded his tenants to the point of breaking. They decided that they weren’t going to take any more and set a trap. The outcome was the celebrated Battle of Ballycohey. The repercussions were immense. Coming so soon after the Fenian uprising of 1867, the new British administration could not and would not ignore what had transpired. With the passing of the first great Irish Land Act of 1870, relations between landlords and tenants were never going to be the same again.
Peter O’Grady is a native of Shronell, in West Tipperary and he has spent the last ten years researching family and local history in the Tipperary and Limerick border regions.
