Welcome

This site is dedicated to the Coastguards who lived and worked around the Irish coastline between the 18th and early 20th centuries. It includes a collection of CG station photos as well as facts and figures about the people , births, deaths, census information, etc. I have also included some fascinating accounts of bravery during rescues from shipwrecks as well as interesting Extracts of shipwrecks and rescues, etc. If you have any queries or input, please let me know.

Job Well Done

MembersOn behalf of Tony and myself, I'd just like to say thank you and well done to Martin [crimea1854], who's coming up on his 200th post in the forum.
He freely gives his considerable time, effort and extensive knowledge to our members. The forum would not be the same without him.

To help further with the development of the site, Martin has been "promoted" to Administrator.

Regards,
Philip
