  1. On a Shipwreck

    Share Share Post
    About sixty years ago a coal boat was on its way to Drogheda with a load of coal. The ship was caught in a storm and was driven in on the shallow sands of Mosney. The coals were taken off the ship in small boats and brought to Drogheda. It is said that the timbers of the ship were used in the building of Mosney House.
