Castletownbere port
Castletownbere was always a location that shipping companies work from. In the 1800 the Puxley family in Dunboy exported copper ore from Berehaven to Wales. The British Navy used the port in the First World War and up to twenty ships would be anchored in the harbour at one time. Up to 80 East European factory ships anchors in Berehaven every spring in the 1980 buying fish.
