Send for the lifeboat

Posted on Saturday 8 February 2014 | 2 Comments

I read here that some folk want to remove the retired lifeboat Mary Stanford from Grand Canal Dock (a laudable aim, especially if it saves Waterways Ireland money), transport it to Ballycotton, Co Cork, and restore it.

It is to be hoped that their efforts will be more successful than those of the group that intended to restore the Clogherhead lifeboat Charles Whitton.
