Decades ago, the Shingle was a smuggler’s ship operating in the waters off Ireland. Later, the vessel ran up a huge dry-dock bill.  But now a group plans to turn the hulk into Ireland’s first artificial reef. Mobile journalist Conor Hunt deftly presents this complex hero’s journey—featuring docking fees, tugboats, tourism, and more— in under two minutes. Hunt not only handles the cinematography but also appears on camera.

 

The editors of MobileMovieMaking have chosen “Smuggler’s Ship Leaves Dublin Port” as the Mobile Movie of the Week.
