A Cabin Cruiser

Rosslare Harbour, Wexford - At 1.45 p.m. on 7th November, 1966, the Tuskar Rock lighthouse keeper informed the honorary secretary that a submerged cabin cruiser had been reported in the vicinity of the rock. The life-boat Douglas Hyde slipped her moorings at 2.45. The tide was ebbing. She proceeded to the position given and found the top of a cabin cruiser's cabin floating one and a half miles north west of the lighthouse.

She picked up this piece of wreckage and informed the Tuskar Rock lighthouse of the nature of the find. The life-boat returned to her moorings at 4.45 and brought the wreckage ashore..
