Baltimore, Co. Cork. At 8.30 a.m. on 6th October, 1963, Valentia Radio told the honorary secretary that one of the crew of the m.v. Oranmore had been seriously injured following a collision between the m.v. Oranmore and the m.v.

Mulcair. At nine o'clock the life-boat Sarah Tilson was launched in a slight south-westerly breeze and smooth sea.

The tide was ebbing. Visibility was very bad due to fog. The life-boat sailed to the vessel which was found four miles southeast of Fastnet. The injured man could not be taken off the vessel as he was still trapped in the wreckage. The life-boat returned to her station and embarked a doctor, priest, nurse and a man with an oxy-acetelyne torch. The injured man was then cut free and taken on board the life-boat and landed at Baltimore. He died shortly after the life-boat arrived at Baltimore Pier. The life-boat returned to her station at one o'clock..
