- About the year 1897 a ship named the Memphis was wrecked in Dunloch Bay owing to a great fog on the sea. She struck on a rock and overturned. She was loaded with a general cargo - timber, cattle, meat, apples, flour and rum. There were only a few lives lost. The neighbours went and gathered up the goods and carried them away with them.
Some local poet composed the following poem:-There were sandboats from Dunbeacon flowing up the bay
Loaded to the water's edge returning with their prey.
They brought lots of rum and leather and everything nice
And other new invented things to kill the rats and mice.
