Fineen, of Crookhaven

DECEMBER 31ST. - BALTIMORE, CO.

CORK. At 2.25 in the afternoon the civic guards at Goleen reported that a boat was sending up flares off Alderman Rock, and the motor life-boat Shamrock was launched at three o’clock. A moderate southerly gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. The life-boat found the fishing boat Fineen, of Crookhaven, with five men on board, at 5.30.

Her engine had broken down and she was anchored in a perilous position on a lee shore, off Rock Island Lighthouse. The lifeboat towed her to Crookhaven harbour, and reached her station again at ten o’clock that night. - Rewards, £22 18s. 6d..
