The Late Storms: breach in the sea wall on the strand at Youghal, Ireland, 1881. 'Our correspondent on the south coast of Ireland contributes a sketch of the damage that was done by the late storms to the sea wall and strand road at Youghal, between Cork and Waterford. The railway and station-master's house were in some danger of destruction, but were protected by driving piles and fixing heavy timbers in several places'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
