  • Manx Farming Communities and Traditions. an Examination of Manx Farming Between 1750 and 1900
    115 Manx Farming Communities and Traditions. An examination of Manx farming between 1750 and 1900 CJ Page Introduction Set in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man was far from being an isolated community. Being over 33 miles long by 13 miles wide, with a central mountainous land mass, meant that most of the cultivated area was not that far from the shore and the influence of the sea. Until recent years the Irish Sea was an extremely busy stretch of water, and the island greatly benefited from the trade passing through it. Manxmen had long been involved with the sea and were found around the world as members of the British merchant fleet and also in the British navy. Such people as Fletcher Christian from HMAV Bounty, (even its captain, Lieutenant Bligh was married in Onchan, near Douglas), and also John Quilliam who was First Lieutenant on Nelson's Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar, are some of the more notable examples. However, it was fishing that employed many Manxmen, and most of these fishermen were also farmers, dividing their time between the two occupations (Kinvig 1975, 144). Fishing generally proved very lucrative, especially when it was combined with the other aspect of the sea - smuggling. Smuggling involved both the larger merchant ships and also the smaller fishing vessels, including the inshore craft. Such was the extent of this activity that by the mid- I 8th century it was costing the British and Irish Governments £350,000 in lost revenue, plus a further loss to the Irish administration of £200,000 (Moore 1900, 438).

  • Isle of Man Angling Guide
    JUNE 2015 JUNE Isle of Man Angling Guide Sea and freshwater angling www.visitisleofman.com/angling Gone fishing With fast flowing streams, well-stocked reservoirs and an incredibly accessible coastline the Isle of Man provides a perfect place to fish. Located in the path of the Gulf Stream the Island enjoys mild temperatures and attracts an abundance of marine life associated with the warm-water current. So, whether you’re a keen angler, or a novice wanting to while away a few hours, you’ll find a range of locations for both freshwater and sea fishing. And if you’re looking for something different why not charter a boat and turn your hand to deep sea fishing where you can try your luck at catching crabs, lobster and even shark? What you can catch A taster of what you could catch during your visit to the Island: Rock fishing: coalfish, pollack, ballan wrasse, cuckoo wrasse, grey mullet, mackerel, conger eel Breakwater fishing: coalfish, pollack, ballan wrasse, cuckoo wrasse, grey mullet, mackerel, conger eel Harbour fishing: grey mullet, coalfish, flounder Shore fishing: bass, tope, dogfish, grey mullet, mackerel, coalfish, plaice, dab Freshwater fishing: brown trout, sea trout, Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, eels Photography by Mark Boyd and James Cubbon 3 Sea angling 4 With almost 100 miles of coastline you’ll have no trouble Bride finding a harbour, breakwater or rugged rock formation from which to cast off.

  • Cronk Keeill Abban (Old Tynwald Site)
    Access Guide to Cronk Keeill Abban (Old Tynwald Site) Manx National Heritage has the guardianship of many ancient monuments in the landscape. A number of these sites are publicly accessible. Please note in most circumstances the land is not in the ownership of Manx National Heritage and visits are made at your own risk. We recognise that visiting the Island’s ancient monuments in the countryside can present difficulties for people with disabilities. We have prepared an access guide for visiting Cronk Keeill Abban (Old Tynwald Site) to help you plan your visit. This access guide does not contain personal opinions as to suitability for those with access needs, but aims to accurately describe the environment at the site. Introduction Cronk Keeill Abban in Braddan is the site of an Early Christian Keeill and was a former Viking assembly site. It is one of four historically recorded assembly sites in the Isle of Man – the others being Tynwald Hill, Castle Rushen and another in Kirk Michael. The earliest written reference to this being a Tynwald site dates from 1429. At this Tynwald sitting the record states that ‘trial by combat’ was abolished. The word Tynwald comes from the Norse thingvollr, meaning place of the parliament or assembly field. The annual meeting held at Tynwald Hill in St John’s would have been the “all-Island” meeting – smaller local groups would have met elsewhere throughout the year. The exact location of the assembly site is not clear, and the present circular dry stone enclosure was constructed in 1929 to commemorate its existence.
