    by to Tobair Patrick on the right hand side of the road
    The tragedy is commemeorated in song too verse of which is remembered by the old people of this district.

    The coast guards their civility,
    We'll mind forever more,
    The did assist to watch the dead,
    The fishermen of Carrow-keel
    their praise is ever due,
    Their fishing tackles laid aside
    and drags they provide,
    To search for these poor harvest men,
    That were lost beneath the tide,
