Thank you guest for this other Mexico song.As a former seafaring man I don't think we can ever be grateful enough to the heroic lifeboat crews around our coasts.Bill Duggan and Jem Wickham mentioned in the Wexford "Mexico" song went across in very rough weather in the small boat to attempt to rescue the men from the rocks. Their boat got holed on the rocks and they pulled back, stuck a loaf of bread wrapped in a piece of Tarpaulin into the hole and went back and completed their task.Their descendants still crew the Rosslare R.N.L.I boat.
