    3. Thanks Barry The wrecks online website, derives most of its information from Bridget & Richard Larns "Shipwreck Index of Ireland" and Edward Burke "Shipwrecks Of The Irish Coast". Shipwreck Index of Ireland cite's The board of trade wreck report which supposes she was lost off Ballycotton although I suspect the Larn's confirmed there information from Lloyds List, they don't say. I would like to get the information from a primary source if possible. Bridget & Richard Larn's "Shipwreck Index of" series of books is the definitive work on Shipwrecks on these Islands, unfortunately they don't list any of these vessels either. Right now March 1867 is proving a right challenge, The S/W corner of Ireland became a black hole for vessels between the 12th and 20th of March and yet of 17 vessels lost The official Wreck Reports record 1 "Supposed Lost" The Papers have no information on three and the others just get a bare bones report. Its possible that some of these came ashore as derelicts in later months, so I might get confirmation as I move along and I am still holding out for a look up from Lloyds List. So far the Mariners List has provided information on Carrara off The Old Head, Sevarres 20 miles south of Roches Point, SS Sevarres ex SS Leven, 55 Ton Clyde Paddle Ferry with her sister SS Lennox were lost on a Madcap excursion to Brazil in the worst possible weather, there is a great story in that one ( for later ).
