The Loss of the S.S. 'Formby" and
S.S. 'Coningbeg".These were steamboats of the 'Clyde Shipping Company.' The boats of this company ply on the cross-channel routes, Waterford to Liverpool, Bristol, Southampton, London, carrying mails, passengers, and general cargo, mostly agricultural produce. They are called 'Waterford boats,' 'Clydeboats, and 'mailboats.'
It is customary on these crosschannel routes that when one ship is leaving here, her sister-ship is leaving the port at the other side. Thus they generally meet in midchannel.
The route, Waterford to Liverpool, takes about seventeen hours.
The Formby and the Coningbeg were on this route during the Great War.
Many of the crew of each were from Waterford Harbour district and the Hook.
One left Waterford: the other left Liverpool: there the story ends. ---
Bill Fortune of Churchtown and Comerford of Fethard were lost with them.
I do not know if their fate was ever discovered.
