The coracle, a traditional small boat made of woven wood and covered in animal hide or waterproof material, holds a rich history that spans across different cultures and regions. One notable figure associated with the coracle is Eustace Rogers, known as the last coracle man of Ironbridge, Shropshire. His expertise in navigating these unique vessels was unmatched. Originating from Wales, the Welsh Coracle has become an iconic symbol of the country's maritime heritage. Its distinctive round shape and lightweight design allowed fishermen to easily maneuver through narrow rivers and shallow waters. The image of a Coracle on River Teifi at Cenarth, Wales during the 1930s captures this timeless tradition. Coracles were not limited to Wales alone; they found their place in various parts of the world. In Mih-Tutta-Hankush, a Mandan Village depicted in plate 16 from Volume 2 of 'Indian Tribes' by Thomas L McKenney and James Hall, we catch a glimpse into Native American culture where coracles played an essential role in transportation along waterways. Closer to home, Carmarthen boasted its own group of skilled Coracle men who skillfully navigated these boats for fishing or transportation purposes. Their expertise was highly regarded within their community. Even beyond Europe's borders lies evidence of how widespread this ancient vessel became. A captivating photograph showcases a Man and Woman from Cacongo confidently seated inside a coracle boat – proof that this mode of transport transcended continents. In times gone by when woaded Britons roamed freely across Britain's landscapes, it is believed that they too relied on coracles for their journeys. A fascinating depiction shows one such Woaded Briton confidently steering his craft while proudly displaying his vibrant blue body paint. Today, visitors can still witness glimpses of this historical practice at General view Llangollen in Wales - where tourists flock to experience the thrill of a coracle ride on the River Dee.
