  1. Local Happenings

    Share Share Post
    About twenty-four years ago a ship was wrecked on the Keireights a small island in Bannow Bay. One of the crew was lost of exposure on the island before the storm abated.
    The Fethard lifeboat went to the rescue and she broke in two. The crew was lost all but one that got to the island also. The life boat came under full sail, it was the opinion of all the sea men that they cast anchor under full sail and she broke in two.
    A monument was erected in the street of Fethard as a memorial to the life boat crew with all their names on it.
