January 16, 1847	Sirius	The wooden paddle-steamer Sirius was one of the most famous ships of the era. This was the little 700 ton ship that had beaten Brunel’s mighty Great Western in the race to become the first steamship to cross the Atlantic under power in 1838. In January 1847 she was a replacement vessel for the steamer Ocean on the Dublin to Cork route, under Captain Moffat. On January 16th 1847 the Sirius was on route from Dublin to Cork when she ran into thick fog off the Cork Coast. Without warning, at four in the morning, the ship ran up on an underwater reef of rocks off Ballycotton, called the Smiths Rocks.It was decided to reverse the steamer off the ledge, but it was then found that she was taking on more water than the vessel could cope with. The fatal decision was made to run to shore. The ship grounded on a reef in Weare Cove. She immediately began to be pounded by the sea.There was mass confusion on board, and 20 people were drowned in an ineffectual boat launch The hero of the day was passenger Captain Archibald Cameron, who, in conjunction with the arrival of the Ballycotton coastguard boat, organised getting the survivors ashore. In July 1847, Captain Cameron was awarded the silver medal by the Royal Humane Society for his heroic actions. Local people quickly swarmed to the scene of the wreck, recovering much of the flotsam from the Sirius . The military then arrived and cordoned off the scene. The wooden hulled Sirius was broken up by the sea in days, and the remains of her iron machinery were sold to Kilmicheal shovel mills. Her wheel shaft survives to this day, mounted on the banks of the Lee, in Glenbrook. The best published source of information on this wreck is contained in the book Captain Roberts of the Sirius , by Daphne D.C. Pochin Mould, published in 1988. ISBN 0 9513282 0 4.
