William & Mary, 31 October 1798

The William & Mary, Master W Julian, was a single decked sloop of 68 tons burden, with a draught of 9 ft. when loaded. Built in Wales in 1784 and owned by Coleman, she held a G8 classification and was described as a constant trader between Dublin and London.[1] She was lost on 31 October 1798 in Tramore Bay, on a journey from Cork to Liverpool.[2]

Thursday a sloop belonging to Milford, bound from Cork to Liverpool, with butter, was driven ashore at Tramore Bay, it being nearly high water at the time. The crew and 3 women passengers were fortunately saved on the tide going out, but the vessel has gone to pieces.[3]
