Description
-
The sea is the thing. It always was. An islander might go a lifetime without climbing Snaefell, but nobody could ignore the water. It was visible from almost anywhere on the island, audible from everywhere on a windy night, and it shaped every aspect of Manx life. The Irish Sea can be millpond-smooth in the morning and dangerous by afternoon, and the fishermen who made their living from it learned its moods through generations of accumulated experience. Every coastal parish had its stories of boats that did not come back. Somewhere out in that water, if the old stories can be believed, lies the Kingdom of Manannan mac Lir.
