Man drowned in River Lee, Cork

I saw this little yellow boat on the River Lee one day and decided to photograph it because it looked so unusual just sitting there. I was really shocked a few days later when I heard that a 22 year old man had got into difficulty and drowned when he tried to swim out to it. He died on the night of the 29th September 2009.


It was moored on the river at Pope's Quay in the north channel of the Lee in front of St. Mary's Catholic Church by a Christian group. A very sad end to a young life.
