"The Sarah" at Laugharne

Description

"Llwynog's" Notes, The Carmarthen Journal Dec. 23rd 1910.
"You are no doubt surfeited with reports of the recent storm ......The second record made by this storm was the placing of The Sarah, a large coal vessel belonging to captain John Brown, high and dry six feet above any usual high tide up against the Cliff known as Gin Hill. There is at present no apparent damage to the vessel but it will be a hazardous and somewhat expensive job to get her down again safely, it being a novelty to find so large a boat so far from her natural element." The Sarah, with the help of many people, was later refloated successfully. (NLW Welsh Newspapers Online).
