Chart of Tramore Bay

Wednesday 30 September 2015

Unknown: Dublin, 5 March 1759

Saturday se’enight, a very melancholy accident happened near the western point of Tramore Bay in the county of Waterford; a ship being forced into the bay by the late tempestuous weather, struck and went to pieces directly. Every person on board perished. It is not known where she was bound but suppose she came from London by some porter which was cast on shore by the tide and a parcel of staves, hoop & c.[1]
