Lilliputian Harbour

This is the Harbour at Fethard, Co. Wexford. It is the smallest little harbour I've ever seen.

As a result of local involvement in the 1798 insurrection this harbour, the malt store and thirteen fishing boats were bombarded and extensively damaged by the British naval gunboats Louisa and Pakenham on June 10th 1798.
