 Accidents and Incidents

 

From The Irish Times of Thursday 25th October 1928:

 

BAD WEATHER OFF THE SOUTH COAST

BOATS RUN FOR SHELTER

    The Lowestoft [sic] trawler, Joseph Barrett, from Milford Haven, put into Cork Harbour yesterday morning, having been forced to stop fishing and seek shelter owing to bad weather.  She also landed a member of the crew for medical treatment for an injury sustained whilst the vessel was trawling off the coast.
