An ancient Irish coracle canoe was discovered by workmen engaged in turf-cutting in a bog near Tuam, Ireland. The well-preserved find will be sent to the Royal Museum in Dublin via Limerick, where it will be displayed among other Celtic relics. Measuring 52 feet long, the canoe was found several feet below the surface. The Great Southern and Western Railway Company provided a special double compartment for its safe transport to Dublin.
