Much obliged to Myles at New Ross Street Focus for this snippet about a tragedy at Passage East #Waterford in 1800. Another small but important detail to add to the ferry story which I published on tides and tales last year.

Federal Delta inbound to Port this damp morning ...but at least its not pouring down 😀
The vessel is just under 200 meters and it almost dwarfs the Barrow Bridge. Tugs Tramontane and Fastnet Lir are on the off side.
The best can be said for the weather is that at least it ain't snowing 😐

Sincere thanks to Mark McCarthy and Tom MacSweeney for coverage in this month's Marine Times. Given the concerns over quotas and the impact on coastal communities we really appreciated them making some space to include our strategic plan launch. Also a piece on an old shipwreck blog of ours
