Wreck of the Barque "Edmund", on the Duggerna Rocks, Bay of Kilkee, County of Clare, [Ireland], 1850. The wind blowing a hard gale W.N.W. tossed her wildly, until every thread of canvass was rent to atoms, and two of her masts carried away...she struck on the Duggerna Rocks, off the Bay of Kilkee, where she hung for sometime, until, washed off by a furious sea, she came to cast anchor immediately beneath Sikes Lodge, at the entrance of the Bay. Holding to for some time, the waves rolling over her hull and spars, she dashed in a perfect broadside against the rock, breaking her back right through the centre, and plunging her only remaining mast clear on the shore...the hands and several of the passengers [were] rescued from their perilous position by some tenderhearted natives...When the roll was called...the individuals missing were 100, since reduced to 96'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
