A crew from Rosslare Harbour RNLI has come to the assistance of a vessel which was left stranded after its propeller became entangled two miles north of the harbour.
The Rosslare Harbour lifeboat was tasked by the Coast Guard at 5.26 pm on Sunday. The lifeboat was launched at 5.45 pm and reached the scene 2 miles North of Rosslare Harbour.
Having served the people of Rosslare over the course of three centuries and been involved in some of the most difficult and dangerous rescues in the history of Co Wexford, the Wickham family have been recognised for their efforts by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Beginning with Thomas Wickham in the late 1800s, five generations of the family have served in various roles with the RNLI, with lifeboat volunteer Sean Cullen (18) the latest to continue this proud tradition.
