The Coningbeg Lightvessel
Kilmore, Co. Wexford. At 8.45 on the morning of the 7th of January, 1958, the Irish Lights office at Dublin asked if the life-boat would launch to land the master of the Coningbeg lightvessel to enable him to attend the funeral of his brother. As there was a heavy swell and a fresh westerly gale, which had not abated by the afternoon, the life-boat Ann Isabella Pyemont was launched at 1.15 with the bowman in command.
The master of the lightvessel was em- barked and landed at Kilmore Quay at 4.10. Rewards to the crew, £11 15s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £13 16s. Refunded to the Institution by the Commissioners of Irish Lights.
