Product Description
Synopsis
Over a ten-year period, starting in 1939, Edward O'Regan took to Ireland's waterways in a collapsable canoe, bringing with him only basic provisions and a tent. His expeditions took place on canals, rivers and lakes. Tent and Canoe in Irish Waters tells the story of those distant adventures, conveying the charm of a more innocent Ireland, the hardship of The Emergency, but most of all a fantastic sense of several great explorations. Edward O'Regan crossed the country several times, going west along the Royal Canal, north to the lakes of Cavan, through the midlands on the Shannon, and into the deep south on the Blackwater. Beautifully illustrated with evocative photographs of the various trips, this is much more than a memento of Ireland in the 1940s or an account of a boating enthusiast. This is social history at its best.
