  1. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    In the year 1839 there was one of the biggest wind storms ever known in Ireland. There was a man named John McGrace going to Canada and he was accompanied by a man named Patrick Lennon from Esker. When they went on board the big wind rose and the ship was blown against a rock. The ship sunk and none of them was heard of any more.
