But the narrow passage in was still death-defying and the only way a ship could tie up safely was into giant iron rings set into the rocks on each side of the Bay. For an interesting look into the past, visit the two local cemeteries - one for the Protestants, north on Nile Hill, and one for the Catholics 400 metres south. The headstones tell stories of early and often violent death.
