Irelandscapes | Strangford Stories, 'The Fisherman Overboard' - (N Irish Short Coastal Documentary with Scenery) @Irelandscapes | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Local lady Anne Phillips from the Strangford area, describes what could be described as a miracle of her fisherman brother who managed to survive some of the most dangerous currents on the whole island - swimming and drifting across the tidal mouth of Strangford Lough, from one side to the other, until his rescue from another brother.
When you see how the local car ferry has to work against the tidal flow and whirling surface eddies, it makes this story so much more incredible for the listener.
Anne also features on a subsequent swimmer story from the Hamlet of Kilclief.
