Clinker boats in Fermanagh
For over a hundred years, up to about 1980, 40 skilled people from Fermanagh built, by hand, boats called clinkers that were a vital part of island living in that county. It's an amazing story that Lough Erne Heritage group think is worth telling and Anne Marie McAleese joins Joan Nelson and Chairman Fred Ternan, both islanders and now next door neighbours, in Fermanagh.Â
