“About forty five years ago a terrible tragedy occurred not far from this parish when eighteen people were accidentally drowned in the Shannon.”
About forty five years ago a terrible tragedy occurred not far from this parish when eighteen people were accidentally drowned in the Shannon. They were natives of Kerry and it appears they left their homes one fine Sunday in Autumn with the intention of having a tour of pleasure on the Shannon as far as Kilrush.
They landed safely at Moyne Quay and the proceeded to Kilrush where the spent the day. When it was towards nightfall they returned back to their boats in order to get home before the dark. One man got nervous of going across and he remained behind. The boat was only a small one capable of accommodating about eleven or twelve persons at most. They left the quay and proceeded in safely until they reached the current of river and then they disappeared. It is not rightly known what happened them but some people say it was how the boat was overturned because an empty boat was seen passing Limerick. Some of their bodies were recovered afterwards.
