Turtle
at Ballycastle Pier
A
large Turtle, seven ft long, weighing approximately one ton
and approximately 400 years old was caught in fishing nets
off Downpatrick Head yesterday evening and brought ashore
to Ballycastle Pier. Unfortunately, the turtle is dead.
It is unsure as yet whether it was dead when it became caught
in the net or died on the way to shore. (Click on
