Musketier

Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—At 8.55 on the morning of the 8th of September, 1957, Portpatrick radio reported that the Dutch vessel Muske- tier had lost her propeller near Tuskar Rock and needed help. The life-boat John R. Webb, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 9.30 in a moderate swell. There was a moder- ate south-westerly breeze blowing and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat took the Musketier, which had a crew of nineteen, in tow to Rosslare Har- bour, arriving at 3.30.—Property Salvage Case..
