The 'Little Boats' of 'Kilkeel' - Ireland

The smaller boats at 'Kilkeel' County Down, N Ireland. -  'Kilkeel' is the main Fishing port on the East coast of Ireland and where the major Fishing Industry in Ireland is carried out.
The small boats are not really that small - but small in comparison to the enormous deep sea trawlers that head out to the North Seafor days and weeks at a time - The smaller boats seen here are day fishers - they fish local waters and are mainly Lobster and Crabber boats. They are out daily between 12 and 24 hours then return to off load their daily catch. Kilkeel operates 24 hours a day - a busy place!
