    3. Thanks Peter and Bob Looks like J.Miller could have built the Carrara, Peters post prompted me to google shipbuilding + Limekilns, I found a story on the shipwrights of Limekilns building a roof for the new Church. The Carrara was a Barque of 218 nrt a sizable vessel this would indicate that shipbuilding was well established in the Area. Thanks to Bob for the pictures. http://www.mariners-list.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=23 For the last few mounths I have been researching shipwrecks (Ireland) for 1867 I am now at March, the wreck reports for 1867 only list a small number and the papers are scant on info, so its an up hill struggle. When I get to the end of March I will be able to at least double the number of wrecks already listed in other sources for this period so its exciting to be uncovering new information. A number of vessels were abandoned or foundered off the South West coast between the 12th and 20th of March a large number of vessels had been trapped in this area by S/E Gales for up to three weeks. If any one has access to Lloyds List for this period from the 10th to the 25th of March 1867 a look up would be a great help. I all ready have info from MNL 1867-68, Lloyds Register, and at least a snippit from a news paper if anyone can add any more it would be much appreciated. The list of vessels on am working on now are as follows. Achillies Aigle, French Atalanta , Hartlepool ? Belem Carrara Charles Souchay Confidence, American Diasma French Florida Steamer Frederick, Bremen Harmony Harriet, Austrian Helen Indomitable Jane Maitland Mary Naiad Pellicano, Italian Pencalenick Pollux, Christiania Saruna Or Serivo ? Sylph Tuscana, Italian Utopia Wild Horse, Canadian William Osprey.
