Bunbeg shipwreck "Cara Na Mara" (Friend of the Sea)

It’s about a small trawler that met an unfortunate fate.

Although precise details are a little hazy, it is estimated that the boat was abandoned in the 1970s. According to local accounts, the “Cara Na Mara” was brought to its present location after encountering problems at sea.

Extensive breakdowns would have led its crew to abandon it as it was. It would then have drifted ashore on Bunbeg beach, where the force of the ocean slowly degraded it over time.

Since then, the site has been left untouched.[Go-To-Ireland]
