Hegarty’s Boatyard Exhibition 

Until Sunday 5

Hegarty’s Boatyard is a photographic exhibition at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall by Kevin O’Farrell of the last surviving traditional wooden boatyard in Ireland. In this era of volume-produced fibreglass boats, Hegarty’s yard exists in a world that is fast disappearing – one where skills and traditions are passed down from one generation to the next, and beautiful hand-crafted boats are made with passion and integrity. This exhibition is a celebration of all traditional wooden boat builders but most especially the wonderful craftsmen of Hegarty’s Boatyard.
