A hull is the watertight body of a ship or boat. The hull may open at the top, or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck. Atop the deck may be a deckhouse and other superstructures, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.
Fop Smit was a Dutch naval architect, shipbuilder, and shipowner. He founded the towage and salvage company L. Smit & Co that is now part of Smit International. His shipyard had a number of "firsts" in shipbuilding and produced a number of famous vessels.

The Sex Aetates Mundi is an 11th-century short chronicle in Middle Irish which gives an overview of Old Testament history organized under the schema of the six ages of the world in alternating prose and verse. It is found in several manuscripts, including the Lebor na hUidre.
The Saltair Caisil is a now-lost Irish manuscript, which seems to have been highly influential in Irish historiographical tradition. Not an actual Psalter, it seems to have contained Munster-orientated genealogies, king-lists, synchronisms, and hagiographical material, among other items. Its contents can be at least partially reconstructed via subsequent citation of the manuscript and a couple of descriptions of it; some material may well be reflected or, in some cases, preserved in later, still-extant manuscripts. Both medieval and modern scholarship often holds that the codex was compiled by Cormac mac Cuilennáin, bishop and king of Munster. However, it is now generally thought to have been produced under Brían Boruma, king of Munster and aspirant king of Ireland, to justify and promote the claims of his own rising dynasty and region. Nonetheless, it could quite possibly have been based on earlier materials. Plentiful citations of the codex by name down to the seventeenth century, particularly for its genealogical doctrines, imply that it had a high status among scholars. Its last known location was in the library of the Earls of Kildare, from which it disappeared at some point in the 1630s or 1640s, the library itself being destroyed and dispersed in 1642.
Conall Eachluath was a reputed King of Munster and ancestor of the Dal gCais through his son Cass, their eponymous founder.
