Accidents and Incidents

 

From "The Manchester Guardian" of Wednesday18th January 1939:

 

    Three members of the crew of the Milford trawler Thomas Ansell were taken off by breeches buoy yesterday at Fort Charles, Kinsale (County Cork), during a violent south-westerly gale when the vessel appeared to be in difficulty.
    As the weather showed signs of improving the trawler's skipper, William Burgoyne, asked the life-saving crew not to remove any more men, but to remain in readiness. Later the trawler continued her voyage and reached Kinsale harbour.
