Harbour Masters
Captain J. Carter - Current Harbourmaster
Captain J. Carter, has shown himself to be a Harbour Master ready to risk his own life notwithstanding the high office he holds which would have made it very easy for him to order somebody else to take the risk.
Captain L Sheil
In a report from November 1941 unsigned but evidently written by one of the lifeboatmen which emphasises that these (three colleagues of the writer of the report and Sheil) were told by all present that they were risking their lives by crossing in the circumstances the bridge to Carlisle Pier and begged not to do so.
Captain F.G. Crofton
On October 24 1881 he reported no doubt with considerable relief that the schooner Annie Cowley out of Rotterdam was not fit to resume her voyage. She had put in owing to severe weather having lost her main boom - evidence of the permanent value of Kingstown/Dún Laoghaire as a harbour of refuge or asylum.
