The Sea Horse Tragedy - Stagemad

By the early nineteenth century, the rectangular basin that is Tramore Bay had long been found by navigators as dangerous and to be avoided. However, in tumultuous weather with dark clouds and high spring tides, it was impossible to find the tower of Hook Head which is found on the eastern boundary of the estuary known as Waterford Harbour. The lighthouse of Hook Head distinguished Waterford Harbour from Tramore Bay but when ships accidentally entered Tramore Bay and realised their error, the decision was taken to navigate toward the Rinneshark for safety.Read and performed by a troupe of actors presenting  true accounts of what happened on that tragic day.  

These are voices from the grave that will never be forgotten in the history of Tramore.Join Stagemad and share the memories and honour the lost. Please be advised to book early as capacity is limited. This event will sell out quickly!
