New Film Shows How Tree Went From Oak to Boat in Iron Age Replica Project
14th December 2020
The replica logboat was modelled on the sunken boat that measures some 7.5m long, 0.61m wide and 0.4m deep.
An oak tree’s transformation from trunk to replica iron age boat on Connemara s Lough Corrib has been filmed as part of a University College Cork (UCC) project.
Entitled A New Logboat for Lough Corrib: The Pallasboy Project , the film was made over 20 months and documents how the logboat was modelled on a 2,400-year-old vessel found at the bottom of Lough Corrib.
The original was partially excavated and recorded by Karl Brady of Ireland s National Monuments Service s Underwater Archaeology Unit.
