The Coningbeg Lightship

Kllmore, Co. Wexford.—At ten o'clock on the night of the 14th of June, 1952, the Commissioners of Irish Lights asked if the life-boat would take a relief to the Coningbeg Light- ship next day and bring ashore a man whose father had died. At 11.30 that morning the life-boat Ann Isabella Pyemont was launched in a smooth sea and a light north-easterly breeze, put the relief keeper on the light- vessel and brought the other man ashore, reaching her station again at 2.35 in the afternoon.—Rewards, £13 11s. Refunded to the Institution by the Commissioners..
