'DEADLIEST Catch' star
Corey Arnold is to visit the fishing village of
Greencastle for the opening of a special photography
exhibition.
Arnold who is also a photographer, will give a
presentation on his life on a Bering Sea crab
vessel, salmon fishing in Alaska as well as his more
recent travels on fishing boats across nine European
countries. |
The event is part of
the launch of An Taisce's Clean Coast Photography
Award Exhibition Roadshow at the Inishowen Maritime
Museum. The local museum will then host the
exhibition for two weeks before it moves on to other
locations nationwide.
Maritime museum manager, Gemma Havlin, said people
could look forward to an entertaining evening.

around Ireland. After
his presentation, Corey Arnold will be available to
meet the public and sign copies of his new book 'Fishwork:
The Bering Sea'," she explained.
An Taisce's Annabel McLoone will also be giving
information on the organisation's Clean Coast
Programme which promotes a grass-root approach to
conserving Ireland's coastline.
The Clean Coast Photography Competition was launched
in June last year as part of the An Taisce's
Coca-Cola Clean Coast Week. The theme was 'Essence
of the Coast - What the Coast Means to Me' and it
had a prize fund of 3,000 euro. One of the overall
winners was Inishowen-based Andy McInroy for his
dramatic photograph of sea swells around Fanad
Lighthouse.
Ms McLoone said 500 photographs with scenes from
Fanad to the Skelligs were sumbitted to the
competition. The exhibition will be launched on
Wednesday, March 2, at 7.30pm and everyone is
welcome. |
