The Three-Masted Motor Schooner Windermere, of Dublin

OCTOBER 3RD. - ROSSLARE HARBOUR, CO. WEXFORD. At 11.20 in the morning the Carne coast life-saving service telephoned that a schooner was ashore at Churchtown, Carnsore Point. The weather was calm, but there was a dense fog. The motor life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson was launched at 11.45. She found the three-masted motor schooner Windermere, of Dublin, with a crew of five, bound for Dungarvan. Her crew were dumping the cargo overboard. At the master’s request the life-boat stood by. The schooner eventually refloated and the lifeboat escorted her to Rosslare Harbour, arriving back at her station at 4.20 that afternoon.
