Hi Tom

I take your point but I still don't think the Bluestones would have been carried underneath the boat, although as a place for ballast it surely could not have been bettered. Imagine the wave that could have capsized a craft so laden?

No, if the bluestones were moved by man, then they would have put them inside the boat, albeit as low as possible inside the boat.


If quarrymen in Wexford definitely used this technique to move 3 tonne millstones how can you dismiss it as viable? This method means that you don't have to lift it into the boat. Ever tried lifting a 3 ton stone into an animal skin boat?
