Description
This famous Irish shipwreck rests on the Aran island of Inisheer off the west coast of Ireland. In 1960 on a dark stormy night a freighter, called the MV Plassey was washed ashore on the Island. The Islanders quickly gathered to the wreck to rescue those on board and to salvage what they could from the battering sea. The ship carried many goods that had never been seen before on the island, including biscuits, cookies, and even modern day toilets. Several items, such as Wheels, Compasses, Pieces and various parts of the Ship were taken by many as souvenirs and reminders of the rare event.
The Ship Wreck is perhaps most well-known for its appearance, on the foreshore of 'Craggy Island', in the opening credits of the extremely popular BBC series, Father Ted. The series is a comedy which follows the parochial life of a Priest and his company in Rural Ireland. A series that was filmed in many areas of County Clare and is celebrated throughout the year with several Father Ted Festivals on Inis Mór, and in Kilfenora, County Clare.
The MV Plassey Shipwreck is located on the Eastern side of Inisheer. From its location you can see stunning views, of the surrounding Clare Coastline as well as the magnificent 700-ft high Cliffs of Moher, from a truly unique vantage point.
