Skerries flitboat- FOAM
1959
Old sixareen flitboat Foam at Housay, Skerries. This was the last sixareen to be in Skerries. She was originally from Ollaberry, Northmavine, from where she was bought in the early 1940s. The sixareen had been used as a flitboat at Ollaberry too, and was fitted up with six eyebolts along each side, for tying up to a dozen cattle in. When at Skerries in the 1950s she could take more than 100 boxes of fish. The white boat at the back of the dyke is the Brumplek.
