Dunmore East Lifeboat
Dunmore East is a small fishing village on
the south-east coast of Ireland, 16kms from
the city of Waterford.
It sits on the western side of the Waterford
Harbour Estuary, 4.8kms from Hook Head in
Wexford.
Dunmore East, Co. Waterford,
Ireland
The lifeboat has played such an important part in the life of Dunmore East
through the years that it deserves a substantial mention on the website.
For the moment I have just put up a picture and the details of the present
lifeboat, until such time as I can delegate somebody to write a piece about the
lifeboat that will do it justice. Any volunteers?
