The
following list, compiled by J W Maher, First Secretary to the Lifeboat, from
contemporary notes "taken upon each occasion of Wreck," was originally
published in the Waterford Mail on 4
February 1858. The
list was first sent to the mayor of Waterford and published, as
part of a campaign to get a life-boat station set up in Tramore, in response to
the wreck of La Capricieuse on 25 January 1858. It was later edited by Maurice J Wigham and republished in Decies, The Journal of the Old Waterford society, no 12, September 1979.
