About Killybegs

Killybegs is a metropolis in County Donegal in Ulster, Ireland. It is the largest fishing port inside the United States of America and on the island of Ireland. It is placed at the south coast of the county, north of Donegal Bay, near Donegal Town. The city is situated at the head of a scenic harbour and at the bottom of a huge mountainous tract extending northward.

In the summer time, there is a road festival celebrating the fish catches and incorporating the traditional Blessing of the Boats. As of 2016, the population changed into 1,236. In 1588, Killybegs was the ultimate port of call for the Spanish vessel La Girona, which had dropped anchor within the harbour while the Spanish Armada fetched up at the Irish coast for the duration of Spain's battle with England. With the assistance of a Killybegs chieftain, Mac Sweeney Bannagh, the Girona's personnel had been fed, her rudder repaired, and she set sail for Scotland, however was wrecked off the Antrim coast with the lack of nearly 1,300 lives.
