Are turtles allowed to eat cheese?

I thought they only ate jellyfish.

Narrow Water Castle is a famous 16th-century tower house and bawn near Warrenpoint in Northern Ireland. It is beside the A2 road and on the County Down bank of the Clanrye River, which enters Carlingford Lough a mile to the south. Narrow Water Castle was given into state care in 1956. It is a state care historic monument in the townland of Narrow Water, in Newry and Mourne District Council district,
In 1212, a keep was built on the site by Hugh de Lacy, first Earl of Ulster, to prevent river-borne attacks on Newry. In the 1560s, the tower house and bawn were built. It is a typical example of the tower houses built throughout Ireland from the 14th until the early 17th century. This kind of building, normally rectangular in plan and three or more storeys high, comprised a series of superimposed chambers, with stairs, closets and latrines skillfully contrived within the walls (which are 1.5 metres or five feet thick in places) or sometimes contained in projecting angle turrets.

The original was destroyed in the 1641 Rebellion.

Nowadays, cruises past the castle are a regular feature throughout the summer months.

On 27 August 1979, 18 British Army soldiers were killed by a Provisional IRA ambush at Narrow Water Castle (see Narrow Water ambush). It was the greatest single loss of life for the British Army during The Troubles.

Bridge

The proposed Narrow Water Bridge[5] was to be located close south of the Castle, but in July 2013 Louth County Council announced that the tender process had produced cost estimates significantly in excess of the funding available. They decided to therefore put the project on hold.

just wow.

Excuse my complete ignorance of sailing L + F but that door which is open at the level of that yacht , does it close watertight to allow the tide to rise ?

it kinda looks to have an overlap seal from where I am sitting

^ That door is on the 'super-yacht', therefor it rises and falls with the tide.

The clubhouse is not visible.
