For centuries, Tramore Bay in County Waterford has held an infamous reputation as a graveyard of ships. The most famous of the wrecks being that of the Sea Horse transport, which was driven into the bay and shipwrecked in a storm, almost two hundred years ago, on 30 January 1816.

Lifeboat Committee
1858
was a significant year in the history of Tramore, as the first lifeboat
committee was established, although the first lifeboat in the bay arrived
a year later in 1859. The shipwrecks after this date are already well
documented.
