In , one year ago, my daughter's school had started and everything was very exciting. The same day friends invited me to a pub, and I met a lovely American girl, Ruby, who worked and travelled in Europe. During the next weeks we became friends, and before she left to the Azores, where her parents came from, she gave me some beautiful tiny of our walks. It's her on the top and me (with dog) on the bottom.

The "Waiting on shore" bronze sculpture by Niall Bruton,, overlooking the harbour and Coney Island, remembers all those who were lost at sea.
The inscription on the plaque reads:
Lost at sea, lost at sea
Or in the evening Tide
We loved you
We miss you
May God with you abide

Rosses Point,
