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.

The Coastguard Cutter Vol4 No11 November 2006: I have mentioned many an upset of a Coastguard boat with subsequent loss of life. The incident of 17th March 1835 was one which I had known of for some time but only recently did I come across the Headstone Inscriptions which underlined further the horror of the tragedy of that day. In this one station, four families lost beloved children, three wives lost their husbands, Elizabeth Harmer was yet to give birth a month later. No single station was ever devastated in this manner within a single day. Article Category: Newsletter Archives
