    Notes from Mr, Syl, O'Brien, Upton, Morriscastle, Kilmuckridge
    Wreck of the 'A.Z.'
    This was an America ship It was struggling & floundering off the Blackwater Bank which lies right off shore here at Kilmuckridge, when it was sighted by some of the local fisherman.
    Tom Bow, J. Fortune, M Rossiter and M. Leary. They boarded a small fishing craft to try get help to her and to get her off the Bank. They made their ways through very dangerous seas and boarded the sinking vessel. They actually succeeded in getting her afloat again. The Captain was heavenly under the influence of booze and was heavenly disliked by all his crew.
