On the edge of Galway's harbour, near the New Docks, the atmospheric carcass of an old wooden fishing vessel is slowly decaying in the tide. This shipwreck is a beloved and melancholic photo spot for passers-by, with its weathered wooden ribs emerging like a skeleton from the silt at low tide. For cyclists following the Townparks quay, this remnant of a rich maritime fishing history provides a raw and photogenic contrast to the modern yachts and the colourful facades of the nearby 'Long Walk'.
