Fulmar (1868)
The ''Fulmar'' was a cargo vessel that sank of the coast of Kilkee, County Clare on the night of 30 January 1886. At the time of the disaster the ship was transporting coal from Troon in Ayrshire, Scotland to Limerick city in Ireland. Occurring 50 years to the day of the sinking of the ''Intrinsic'', the ship is one of four that have perished with loss of life off the coast of the small town of Kilkee, the others being the ''Edmond'', and the ''Inishtrahull''.
==Background==
Originally built for Francis Atkinson in 1868, the ship was bought in 1877 by Middlesbrough businessman James Dixon. The sinking of the vessel was not the first time it had been en-toiled in trouble, with the ship running aground near the French town of Boulogne-sur-Mer in 1883. After this the ship required extensive repairs, with the bill eventually coming to around £6,000 (£300,000 today).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Currency Converter )〕 The ship was then laid up in the Royal Victoria Dock in London for 2 years, only being used for a few coastal voyages in the intervening period. The port side of the ship suffered damage when lying in Dún Laoghaire harbour in 1885 and on its return to Troon in Scotland, began to leak.〔 When the vessel arrived in Troon harbour it was given temporary repairs and decided that the ship would continue on to Limerick, as it had been chartered, and when it returned it would be sent to Cardiff for a full overhaul and repair.〔
