In memory of
all lost seafarers
from the port of Kinsale

Kinsale Hooker
19th c. Fishing vessel

His hooker's in the Scilly Van
when seines are in the foam

nor wealth a happy home.
So, blessed with love and liberty
while he can trim a sail
he'll trust in God and cling to me
the boatman of Kinsale
Thomas Osborne Davies 1814-45
