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. I have also included some fascinating accounts of bravery during rescues from shipwrecks as well as interesting Extracts of shipwrecks and rescues, etc. If you have any queries or input, please let me know.

The Coastguard Cutter Vol4 No5 May 2006: With the commencement of building large Coastguard stations in Ireland in the 1860's favourable comment was made on 'lovely windows'. towers and many Victorian Gothic features. Also included were rifle loop-holes and heavy steel plates to cover windows in the event of an attack on the station. These early buildings proved to be too expensive for the Admiralty and later stations were plainer and had less architectural features. Article Category: Newsletter Archives
