MV Plassy Shipwreck

The hulking, rusty wreck lying on the island's west coast has gained a cult following ever since it appeared in the opening credits of the acclaimed Irish television show, Father Ted. Horses and traps stop by to explain its fleeting fame and cyclists stop here to take a selfie break.
