What is recorded here

Samphire Island is a small islet in County Kerry, Ireland. It sits within Tralee Bay, a body of water enclosed from the Atlantic by the Maharee spit. The islet belongs to the same coastal landscape as Fenit village, where a harbour, marina and fishing port still operate. The bay has long exposed people to arrival, departure and danger, from Spanish soldiers taken in 1588 to emigrants carried away by sailing ships. Samphire Island may have offered little more than rock, seaweed and a place to mark the water, but even a small islet can belong to a larger story of movement and memory.
