The S.S. LISMORE
left Cork Harbour bound for Liverpool on her maiden voyage on
July 10, 1924 and was never seen again until James and his colleagues
discovered the wreck several years ago. There was one survivor
from her crew who spent two days on a hatch cover before being
washed ashore at Slade.
The
four portholes adjacent to the stained glass feature of the cottage
and Church in the front Pub are from the LISMORE – as is
the steam whistle beneath the window in the parlour. The steering
pedestal from the LISMORE is on display in “The Captain’s
Cabin” – (the snug area) in the front bar. The wooden
steering wheel has been recreated from old Burmese teak by George
Colfer and his John of Slade.
