curragh, a wicker boat covered with hide or, in modern times, tarred calico. In early centuries such boats were widely used even for long sea voyages. From the
Viking era they were displaced on the high seas by planked wooden ships, surviving only along the west coast, where they were used for fishing and coastal trade, and on some inland waters.
