What is recorded here

Sherkin Island holds roughly 110 people in County Cork, yet it once sustained more than a thousand before famine and exile thinned its streets. Its small harbour, ancient friary and seasonal influx of artists, fishermen and visitors suggest a place that refused to become merely remote. The bay may still carry memory in its tide, bringing back whatever life the sea took and returning it changed.
