What is recorded here

Keeragh Islands are two bare rocks a mile off Bannow where cormorants still breed and a ruined shelter leans into the sea. On a February night in 1914, the reef smashed a lifeboat and trapped nineteen people on ice-cold stones. Bill Duggan and Jim Wickham rowed back and forth through the storm, even plugging a hole in their dinghy with bread and oilskin until everyone lived. The islands remain empty, but that night they became a measure of human courage.

Keeragh Islands is recorded as a island in County Wexford. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.

The Keeragh Islands, located off the coast of County Wexford, have historical significance as a possible site linked to early monastic activity in Ireland. They are notable for their connection to Saint Kevin, a 6th-century Christian hermit and founder of the monastery at Glendalough, who is said to have lived in solitude on the islands.
