Fan, August 1792

‘Early on Saturday morning last, a sloop, bound from this port to Wexford, in ballast, was wrecked on Tramore Beach. Happily the crew got Safe on Shore’.[1]

On Saturday morning last, the sloop, Fan, of Wexford, Mathew Parl Master, struck on Rhineshark bar, in the bay of Tramore and went to pieces; happily no lives were lost. The captain and a large family, by this misfortune, are left destitute, as she was his sole property and means of support, some charitable persons have entered into a subscription for him.[2]
