Steamer at Drumsna

Posted on Tuesday 9 May 2017 | 1 Comment

Can you help?

Liam Sherringham has sent me two photos of the remains of a steamer at Drumsna.

I am pretty certain that someone at some time told me something about this vessel, but I’ve lost the information. I think it was said to be a former steam yacht, owned by a family living not too far away and abandoned at the spot, but I am not at all certain about this.

If you are the person who told me about this, I apologise for my lapse and I would be grateful if you could supply the information again. If you are not that person, but know anything about the vessel, do please tell us about it. In either case you can leave a Comment below.

    I did mention it on the forum a few years ago. Having lived afloat, about 1.5 miles away, I was familiar with the skeleton in the mid 60s. There are quite a few more trees around it now though. I don’t have any info on it though, it was just an interesting relic.
