Friday night's RTE Nationwide Television Programme features three maritime stories at the start of the new year.
Young people learning to sail a Tall Ship on the Irish Sea will be interviewed on the Pelican on Dublin Bay.
Zainab Boladale reports on her day on a Sail Training Ireland voyage and the impact it has on the young people who take part.
There will also be a look back with some unique archive footage on the history of traditional currach building.
Underwater divers cleaning up our coasts also feature on the magazine programme on Friday, 6th January at 7 pm on RTE One and afterwards on the RTE Player.
