18 days in Fermanagh Herald
TUCKED along the banks of Lough Erne in Riverside, Willie Anderson is bringing the rich maritime history of the lough’s boats back to life.Once an empty boatyard, the site now houses his Boatyard Museum, showcasing the steam boats, racing yachts and working barges that shaped Enniskillen’s maritime past. Living on a barge himself, Willie’s connection to the lough gives the museum a personal touch, with every model and display carefully crafted to tell the story of the boats and people who once sailed these waters.
