Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Altar of St Michael's of the Sea. St Michael's was opened in 1903, but has since been renovated. This unique altar-piece reflects Eriskay's links with the sea, being the bow of a lifeboat from HMS Hermes. While the ship was engaged in exercises off St Kilda, the lifeboat was swept overboard and eventually washed up at Pollachar, about 4.5km to the northwest of Haun - it was damaged, but the bow section was sound enough to be recovered and installed here at St Michael's. See 1357166.
