Islandmagee
In Islandmagee
The newborn weans Have got sea water In their veins,
And when an Islandmagee man dies You can see the far horizons in his eyes
MICHAEL BAGULEY visits this island of seafarers on the Antrim coast, hears a strange story about a ferry that St. Patrick blessed, and sees how an island is being changed into a peninsula.
