The coracle, owing to its maneuverability, has served several purposes in the course of time. At one time they were used for the punishment of criminals. History records that wrongdoers whose crime deserved death were put to sea in a " boat of one hide" and driven from land. A less sinister use to which they are still put is sheep dipping. The coracle men take their craft out on the remote rivers of Wales and paddle around among the sheep as they are being dipped making sure that none get drowned and that all are properly dipped. In this picture the coracles are being carried over the rocks near the Cenarth Falls where they will be used for gathering driftwood
