- (continued from previous page)lifeI was taken down to Schull sweet town where I was safely moored
Where I was clad and cherished, my health was soon restored
On board the Spree I got a berth I now in safety lie
And Schull sweet town I'll ne'er forget until the day I dieThe above song was composed by the late Dan O'Driscoll, a teacher of Dunbeacon school on the wreck of the Lady Charlotte. This wreck occurred about 60 years ago. The Barrel Rocks are sunken rocks about half a milk south of Lahorn Castle in the Atlantic Ocean. Bill the Poet from Long Island.
