Sea Change : The Rise of the BIM 50-footer and Its Impact on Coastal Ireland

The 1940s saw a low ebb in the fishing industry in Ireland, so the Irish Sea Fisheries Association and An Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) created initiatives to help benefit fishermen. In 1949 the BIM 50-footer was born. Sea Change is a heartfelt tribute to the BIM 50-footers, and to those who worked and lived through such a major change.
