  1. A Shipwreck

    Share Share Post
    About seventeen years ago a fishing boat named "Moy-Lady" was coming from Aughris with a load of fish.
    Paddy Hopkins and a man named Keavany were on board wth three other men. They were all from Enniscrone.
    When the boat was off the Long-rock a great storm arose. She was tossed about by the waves. She lost her mast and she sank with her crew. Nobody could ever find the bodies althought they were often searched for.
