Name

Peel

Description

Fishing port on the west coast, dominated by Peel Castle on St Patrick's Isle. The herring fleet operated from here. After the Revestment, Peel's fishermen — who had no obvious alternative livelihood — stayed and endured. Captain Murray served as Crown searcher at Peel. Caesar Parr's single surviving smuggling boat was the last of a fleet of fifty.
