Published in 2020, Waterford Harbour Tides and Tales is a collection of 23 stories located in the fishing communities of the estuary and the ports of New Ross and Waterford. The harbour has centuries of tradition based on its extensive fishery and maritime trade. In these tales we travel back to a different era, relive the fear of the dreaded press gangs who raided the communities for crew, join in search of buried gold when pirates seized the sailing ship ‘Earl of Sandwich’ and witness the horror visited on the community in WWII when a German airplane bombed the rural idyll. On every page we learn something of the history of this nautical community, steeped in traditions, customs and imbued with an enviable spirit.
