  1. Irish Folklore - Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In 1899 as Mr. George Hayes (of Finnoe House about a mile outside Borrisokane) men were sinking a drain, they felt something hard, and dug away, until suddenly they raised a perfect canoe or boat, stated to have been there for over 200 years, and strangly enough was in perfect condition and a very small line of silver along one side (from the bow to the stern.) The men immediately cleaned their discovery, and it is now to be seen in the "Museum" in Dublin, where it is very much admired by all the people round Finnoe."
