Scale 1:6. A model of a Mulroy Bay (County Donegal, Ireland) curragh made entirely in wood with a tarred calico skin. The frame is made from withies which have been tied together and covered in a calico skin that has been painted black. The main hull is semi-circular in section and tapers slightly towards the stern. The bow is sharp ended and steeply raked and the withies extend from it. The gunwales, which extend sternward from the hull, transom beam, thwarts, and other fittings are made in wood secured by metal brackets. There are two thwarts, one wider than the other, both of which are removable. There are four oars, each of which has a rectangular 'bull' with a hole to fit over each of the thole pins along the gunwale.

Such curraghs were found from Fanad Head to Bloody Foreland and used for lobster fishing and loading local steamers with granite setts primarily. They were also used for net herring fishing and for ferrying to Tory Island. Capable of carrying eight adults or 1500kgs, they were rowed by two men. This type of curragh weighed less than 50kgs.
