Swan & Brothers, October 1838

The Swan, from Cork to Ross, which was on shore at Tramore Bay, on the 10th Inst., floated off the following day with little or no damage.[1]

Between nine and ten o’clock on Tuesday night, the schooner Brothers, David Evans, master, of and from Newport, for New Ross, laden with coal, was driven ashore on Tramore Strand, having entered the bay under the impression that it was Waterford Harbour. A considerable part of her cargo, stores and fittings was landed next day and Thursday and taken charge of by the Coast Guard, under Lieutenant Scudamore, R. N. There is little or no expectation that the vessel will be got off, as she has sunk very much in the sand.[2]
