S.S. Ardmore<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Mined and sunk off Saltees Island, 12th November 1940<\/p><\/div>\n

The SS\u00a0Ardmore<\/i>\u00a0left Cork on 11 November 1940, bound for Fishguard with a cargo of livestock. She never arrived. The wreck was located in 1995, south of the Saltees, with massive damage near her engine room. A defensive string of mines had been laid across the entrance of the Bristol channel. They were intended to protect shipping from U-boats. They should have been firmly anchored to the seabed. However they were frequently washed up on Wexford and Waterford beaches. There had been a severe southerly gale on 10 November: the day before\u00a0Ardmore<\/i>\u00a0sailed. It is possible that a mine set adrift by that gale could have struck the\u00a0Ardmore<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n
