    Spiddal. The Lydon family in Knockferry owned a big boat which took his coach and horses across the lake. Killannin was then, part of Claran parish and a curate lived there, whom the Archbishop visited.
    Boats used to call into the shore of Caladh na Mine (the port of the meal) with meal during the famine.
    At one time six sailing boats were engaged in bringing seaweed to Kilbeg quay. The people bought carts of this sea-weed and put it on their crops as, they found it a very valuable manure.
