Wives attend memorial for fishermen lost on Honeydew

THE wives of two fishermen who drowned when their trawler went down off the south coast in early January laid anchor-shaped floral wreaths at a poignant seamen’s memorial in Kinsale, Co Cork yesterday.

Mary Bohan and Anita Jagla, the wives of Honeydew II skipper Ger Bohan and his crewman, Tomasz Jagla, were among the hundreds who attended a special ecumenical service in Kinsale at 11am yesterday.

The Kinsale-based trawler went down off Mine Head between Dungarvan and Ardmore some time after 1am on January 11.
