History of Kilkee

On the 30th of January 1836 a ship from Liverpool bound for New Orleans named the Intrinsic was blown into a bay near Bishops Island in Kilkee. The ship was dashed repeatedly against the cliffs and sank along with her crew of 14, of which none survived. The shipwreck site is now called 'Intrinsic Bay'.

A chartered passenger sailing vessel named the Edmond sunk at Edmond Point on the 19th of November 1850. The ship was sailing from Limerick to New York City but was driven into Kilkee Bay by a storm. As the tide was so high, the ship was driven all the way to Edmond Point, where it split in two. Of the 216 on board, 98 drowned in the disaster
