This site is dedicated to the Coastguards who lived and worked around the Irish coastline between the 18th and early 20th centuries. It includes a collection of CG station photos as well as facts and figures about the people , births, deaths, census information, etc. There are also some fascinating accounts of bravery during rescues from shipwrecks as well as interesting Extracts of shipwrecks and rescues, etc.

It was founded by Tony Daly back in 2001, though sadly he passed away in 2021 and it was his wish that the site remain up for the future for researchers and interested visitors.
