Lavinia, Cardigan, Glencoe & Liske, December 1840

Thursday morning, a vessel's jolly-boat was thrown empty and broken on the Tramore Strand at the ladies’ bathing place. On the inner part of the stern is the name “James Jenning,” and on the outer part are under ends of letters which seem like " Lavinia," or " Malvinia.
     Tuesday evening, a board with a scroll on which was printed the word ‘Cardigan’ was washed on the same strand.
     The Glencoe, wrecked at Ballymacaw, is gone to pieces. But twenty bales of the cargo have been saved, the rest ruined by the sea. A young country boy was washed off a rock and drowned before anyone could save him.
    The Liske is still in Bonmahon unbroken. A good deal of the cargo, fruit, has been landed in safey.-Waterford Mirror.[1]
