    In Carlingford Lough in the year 1826 a massive steamer was leaving Warrenpoint Dock for Liverpool. There were fifty passengers on board, some of whom were going to visit their frinds in Liverpool.
    A terrible storm arose and the ski[ sank and many lives were lost. Ever since that it is said a Phantom shop appears on the Lough.
