Photocopy of an article from the 1997 issue of the Connemara cultural magazine Pléaráca on the Bád Mór St. Patrick. The article extensively details the history of the boat, built by the Ó Cathasaigh/Casey brothers for Patrick D. Conroy in 1911, and charts its history as both a working boat in its original role, and as a pleasure boat used by later owner Paddy Barry to enter regattas and travel the North Atlantic and Baltic regions. A digitised version of the magazine is available online at Cartlann Ghaeltacht Chonamara (https://cartlann.ie/items/show/590).
