>From The Irish Times, 11 February 1924 --

       LARCENY FROM A WRECK. -- Michael Harty,
    farmer, was charged at Ardmore, Co. Waterford, with the
    larceny of a steam capstan from the wreck of the ketch
    Douglas Head, which was grounded at Mangan's Bay, Co.
    Waterford. Michael Ahern, Youghal, bought the wreck and
    started salvage work, but the weather broke and the ship
    went to pieces. Ahern gave sixty-odd persons permission to
    take the woodwork, but reserved the masts and metal work
    for himself. The capstan disappeared, and the defendant
    admitted taking it. The Justice ordered the defendant to return
    the property and pay 44s. costs.
