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.

Verling, was stranded at Tramore, but without having received any damage. And
we are happy to hear, no doubts are being entertained of her being got off.[1]
