Walking along the beach in Howth today, and saw these things. Couldn't tell if they're old parts of a boat washed ashore, or whether they were originally part of something on land. Anyone any idea? The kids were hoping they were parts of a shipwreck. They've been there a while, by the looks of all the attacked sea life…ps football is for scale.

Is the second one a back axle off a tractor maybe?
First one’s a football anyway.
Its a football
I think there’s a wreck around there on the charts, you might be looking at the top of the mast?
They look like parts of a trawler.
Yea we got a bit tipsy, sorry about that whatever it is.
On Claremont Beach? It’s the wreck of an old trawler. From the 50s or 60s. It’s exposed like that at very low tides.
Its remnants of the French Trawler “Therese-Emile Yuon” that washed up after engine failure in 1955.

First one seems to be a crossbow used by an old Irish metal giant, years and years ago, and the second one seems to be a part of his spine, which unfortunately implies that he was unsuccessful in battle..
Dbd hook
He’ll be back in 5Mins, gone to get change for the meter.
It’s made they just left it there all these years.
I’m unreasonably annoyed you didn’t take more pictures of it. Especially the screwy looking turbo part
That’s just Kenny Cunningham having a kick about
