The first sod on the Memorial Garden, Kilmore Quay, Co. Wexford, Ireland, was turned by Peggy Murphy, as the sun set on the old millennium on December 31st 1999, on a site near Forlorn Point overlooking the area aptly named ‘The Graveyard of a Thousand Ships’.
The Garden incorporates this propeller blade from the ship “Lennox”, lost off the Saltee Islands in 1916. The blade was recovered from the wreck by Edmund O’Byrne and his team of divers.
