Mary
Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford. At seven o'clock on the evening of the 29th of December, 1958, the coxswain saw an object burning near the pier. The life- boat Douglas Hyde put out at 7.15 in a rough sea, with a strong westerly wind blowing and a flood tide. She found the fishing boat Mary of Rosslare Harbour half full of water and with her engine flooded. Her crew of three had burnt a coat to attract attention. The life-boat took her in tow to the harbour, arriving at 8.15. Partly paid permanent crew. Rewards to the crew, £5 ; reward to the helper on shore, 12s..
