The Boyne Canoes: from strength to decay in a decade
IMG_7526bf350D24-105mm
By Darina Tully
The boats found on the Boyne Estuary are a Scandinavian style pram locally known as ‘canoes’. The style of the Boyne Canoes is similar to that which can be seen working around Oslo harbour in Norway. Sadly, within a decade the vibrant fishery on the Boyne has gone from strength to decay; around 60 ‘canoes’ were involved in two major fisheries – the salmon draft fishery and mussel fishery.
The mussel fishery was located in Mornington at the mouth of the Boyne. The method of fishing used was unique ─ the only comparison was Conway North Wales.
Fishermen used 18ft rakes to rake the mussels from the seabed, which they landed in the canoes. The mussels were then brought ashore and riddled into different sizes; small shells were returned to the river. This mussel fishery was very environmentally-friendly and provided an alternative to the salmon fishery.
Dredging programme
In 1998 the curator of folk life at the National Museum of Ireland recorded the mussel fishing and in the same year Drogheda Port started a dredging programme at the entrance to the Boyne and the fishery was subsequently ‘postponed’ for a few years. Attempts were made to reseed the mussel beds but without success. The boats and equipment now lie decaying on the banks.
There is over 5,000 years of evidence of fishing on the Boyne going back to the Neolithic period. All the great monuments on the Boyne, including Newgrange, have yielded evidence that indicate a once prolific viable fishery.
Medieval manuscripts from local monasteries list many of the fisheries, weirs and licences as part of their property. Draft net fishing has a long history and goes back to at least the 16th Century. The Boyne canoes are shown in early 19th Century engravings and are portrayed in a wonderful guild banner, now kept in the Milmount Museum in Drogheda.
The canoes used in the salmon draft fishery had a short deck at the stern to carry the large draft net; this fishery took place in the spring and summer months.
For conservation reasons however this fishery and all salmon activity on the Boyne was stopped in 2007. An agreement was subsequently reached that no fishing would take place until spawning salmon reached fifteen thousand, then access would be granted to both anglers and nets men
This year spawning salmon numbers exceeded fifteen thousand and the anglers were allowed return to ‘catch and release’. Nets men however have been denied access and say that agreements made in good faith have not been implemented fairly. These fishermen are deeply disappointed and are planning a ‘protest day’ of fishing in July to highlight their situation.
While the author’s interest is in the history and archaeology of traditional boats, one cannot look at these craft without being aware of the current factors that affect the continuity of maritime and boating heritage.

I took my dog muffin canoeing on Lake Thom-A-Lex this evening. This was her first time in the canoe and she seemed to really enjoy it.
