Information sheet written by former owner Michael P. Conroy on the history of the hooker St. Patrick ('Bád Chonroy'), built by the Casey brothers in 1910-11 for Patrick D. Conroy of Garafin, County Galway. Michael P. Conroy states that 'This Hooker is generally accepted, by all recognised expert Sailorsmen[sic] of Connemara, as being the best Sailingboat, of it's[sic] design, up to the present day (1983)'. Michael P. Conroy sold the ship to new owners in 1950 in order to save it from deterioration in the era of truck transport. The article ends with the note that an image of the St. Patrick has been selected as the design of the Irish 22p postage stamp for the period 1982-86 and that the restored ship is now successfully raced in regattas.
