Whilst the religious establishment stood on Saints' Island, there is no tradition of any boat accident having occurred, though the barks then in use were currachs, or canoe-shaped boats formed out of a hollowed tree. Many years ago, it is handed down, two priests went out for a sail on the lake, in a boat of the latter description ; and when but a short distance south of Station Island, where there is a round rock almost hidden under water (since called ‘The Priests' Rock’), the boat capsized, and its occupants were drowned. This, they say, was the first boat accident on Lough Derg. A second boat was lost here, between Saints' Island and the River Fluchlynn, about forty years. ago. The boatman was Doherty, from Augh-Keen, who, in company with two or three others, were returning home from Kelly's Islands in the month of March, when the boat, which was small and unsafe, capsized a little from land, and all met with a watery grave ; not even Doherty, who was a good swimmer, being able to escape. This sad accident inspired the muse of a local bard, who commemorated the event in a mournful lay, still sung in the locality."

Title A name given to the resource Templecarne Graveyard, County Donegal Subject The topic of the resource Lough Derg--Vicinity--Templecarne Graveyard--Survey Description An account of the resource <p>Graveyard on irregular-plan, laid out c. 1600. Now out of use. Contains a collection of multidenominational cut stone gravemarkers (upstanding, recumbent, and table-type memorials) mainly dating from c. 1750 to c. 1900. Two ashlar limestone mausoleums (on square-plan) to the north of site, dated 1835 and 1898, containing the remains of the Barton family. Rubble stone scalan (covered altar) to the north-west corner of enclosure, built c. 1800, having segmental-headed arch over with roughly dressed voussoirs to arch and with cut stone altar/seat to interior. Site surrounded by rubble stone boundary wall having castellated/Scotch coping over. Gateway to the east comprising a pair of rubble stone gate piers (on square-plan) having pyramidal coping over and with wrought-iron flat-bar gate. Stile located to the east side of gate. Site of earlier church to centre (RMP DG105-003001-) to centre, and remains of ringed cross (RMP DG105-003002-) to site. Located in an elevated site in the rural countryside to the north of Pettigoe.</p> <b>Appraisal</b><br /> <p>Although perhaps primarily an archaeological complex, this interesting and complex site retains a number of features of post-1700 date and interest. The interior contains an interesting an varied collection of cut stone gravemarkers dating from the mid-eighteenth century to c. 1900, some of which are of artistic interest, particularly a number of now weather eighteenth-century memorials with carved coat-of-arms to the heads. Apparently one side of the graveyard was used for Church of Ireland burials with Catholic burials to the other side. Of particular interest is the scalan shelter built into the north-west corner of the graveyard, which is now a rare survival. A scalan is a sort of covered mass rock dating from Penal times (c. 1691 - 1829) during which, at various times, it was illegal (on pain of death) for Catholic priests to celebrate mass. Subsequently mass was celebrated in remote and inaccessible areas, such as here at Carne. The scalan consists of a flat altar with a segmental-arched hood over that partly sheltered the priest from the elements. Apparently, this particular example is relatively late in date and was originally built to shelter the priest as he collected offerings at funerals. A pair of austere but well-crafted ashlar limestone mausoleums to the north of the graveyard were originally erected by the Barton family of The Waterfoot and of Cloneely, which are just over the border in County Fermanagh to the south. The Barton family was an important and interesting family that counts a number of notables among its ancestors, including Thomas 'French Tom' Barton (born December 1695 at Pettigoe) who established the firm that was later to become the famous wine merchants Barton and Guestier, c. 1730, at Bordeaux in France. Also buried here at Carne is Prionsias Dubh 'Black Frank' McHugh, the noted eighteenth-century highway man who operated in this part of Donegal who was hanged in Enniskillen in 1780. He is remembered fondly in local folklore and song as a chivalrous man who stole from the rich to give to the poor. Also probably buried at Carne is the Revd. Alexander Calhoun, who was rector at Templecarne parish from 1698 until 1717, and who was the great grandfather of John Caldwell Calhoun (1782 - 1850), who served as Vice President of the United States from 1824 to 1892 under President John Quincy Adams. The graveyard also marks the final resting place of the c. 70 pilgrims who died when their boat sank on Lough Derg in July 1799 (or 1795, date varies). This site is also an important and early archaeological site, reputedly originally dating to the early Medieval period and associated with St. Davog. An early pilgrim route to Lough Derg ran past the church. A shallow rise to the centre of the graveyard marks the site of a church (RMP DG105-003001-) apparently built at the end of the fifteenth century, while a ringed cross (RMP DG105-003002-) to site was apparently taken here from Saints Island in Lough Derg. The site is also of historical interest as the location where the first Red Hugh O'Donnell resigned his chieftaincy in 1497 (according to the Annals of the Four Masters). This interesting site is an integral element of the built heritage, archaeology and social history of the Pettigoe area, and is a feature of some interest to the north of the town. The simple boundary walls (probably containing fabric of the church to site) and the gateway add to the setting and context, and complete this composition.</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource National Inventory of Architectural Heritage Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Ireland Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Database entry describing architectural site Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Database Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context DD_0192 License A legal document giving official permission to do something with the resource.

Text Any textual data included in the document "But the most lamentable catastrophe of all happened here in 1795 — a catastrophe which for many years cast a gloom over the place, and the recital of which, even yet, fails not to evoke from the pious pilgrims many a tear and prayer for those who met with such an untimely end. Sunday, the 12th of July, 1795, is a day long to be remembered in connection with Lough Derg. On that day, which set in fresh and breezy, but by no means very stormy, there was the usual bustle and hurry about the ‘cabin,’ or ferryhouse, from an early hour of the morning, amongst pilgrims and the neighbouring inhabitants, who were anxious to hear Mass on the island. A few boats had already taken full cargoes to and fro, when the dread hour of eleven o'clock arrived. Johnston, the ferryman, had already allotted place for ninety-three passengers, all told, most of whom were pilgrims. It appears that some of the passengers took exception to the boat, as being old and unseaworthy ; but their fears were made light of. A very fortunate escape is related of a young man, a pilgrim, who had actually taken his seat in the boat, when he was summoned back by his father, who had dreamt the previous night of some terrible fate about to befall his son, followed him to the lake, and thus saved him from certain death. At about the hour of eleven o'clock MacTeague, the principal boatman (who is said to have been somewhat under the influence of drink at the time), pushed off from shore, and all went well till they came alongside Prior’s Island. At this time it was observed that the boat had sprung a leak, and was fast taking in water. The boatmen, however, took no heed of this, thinking they could reach Station Island without any difficulty. As they had reached about midway between Prior's Island and Station Island, the water was now fast gaining on the boat, which alarmed the passengers, and rendered them quite restive. In this confusion and dismay the boat capsized, and all went down in about ten feet of water. It is said that at this time they were so convenient to Station Island that nine or ten good strokes of the oars would have easily taken them to land. Station Island itself at the time was crowded with spectators, who were so thunderstruck by the accident that they had not the presence of mind to push off to the rescue, though a boat or two were within reach at the island. If this had been done, there is no doubt whatever but that very many of the victims might have been saved. It is consoling to record that one of the priests then on the island waded out some distance into the water, gave conditional absolution to those drowning, and repeated aloud certain prayers for the occasion. All the priests then on the island offered up Mass for the souls of the deceased ; and the Prior (Father. Murray) is said to have declared, in a funeral oration on the occasion, that had the accident happened them when leaving the island, there would 'be room for more consolation indeed’. A few moments after the capsizing of the boat, a large mass of human beings, having grasped each other with the tenacity of death at the bottom of the lake, came to the surface, where they remained struggling for a little, when they sank to rise no more. Out of the ninety-three passengers but three escaped — one of them a man named Mulharty ; the others were a man and his mother-in-law from the County Monaghan. The boatmen were also lost, as well as some of the people of the neighbourhood, who were going to hear Mass on the island. At the time the accident occurred it is said that Johnston, the ferryman, was giving tickets at the ferry-house to a batch of fresh arrivals ; he is reported to have made light of the matter, and to have said that it would by no means prevent the station from proceeding as usual. All the bodies of those drowned were recovered from their watery grave. Many of them were conveyed home by their sorrowing friends to the family burial-places. About twenty or more of them were buried coffinless on the topmost part of Prior's Island, earth having been carried up and heaped over their grave ; and here a dense cluster of firs may be observed waving their sombre heads over their lonely grave. Others of them, again, were buried in Templecarn churchyard. The sight of the dead bodies, as they were conveyed on horseback over the rugged mountain, was most heartrending ; and those who witnessed the sad ordeal (and there are some of them still alive in the vicinity of Lough Derg) could never after refer to the subject without shuddering at the recollection of it. In connection with this sad accident a remarkable instance — if instances were wanting — is handed down of the affection and veneration of the Irish for their departed relatives. It is said how a young girl, the only child of her widowed mother, happened to be in the ill-fated boat, was drowned, and her body was buried in Templecarn graveyard. The following summer her aged parent came nearly one hundred miles to perform the ‘station’ for her, and brought with her a monument, which she had erected over her daughter's grave in Templecarn. This monument, or gravestone, is, I understand, still pointed out to the visitor."

Text Any textual data included in the document "According to a statement made at the annual meeting October 21, 1898 of the [Pettigo] District Lodge, it seems that for years previously [to the 1790s] the isolated Protestants of Pettigo suffered from the attacks of the Donegal Ribbonmen, and disorder little short of anarchy prevailed. The turbulence became worse when the United Irishmen's organisation spread over the country. There was no combination among the Protestants of the town, which is partly in Fermanagh and partly in Donegal; but one or other of which parts must be traversed to reach what is known as Patrick's purgatory in one of the Lough Derg islands (*). The introduction or Orangeism, however, met the wants of the Protestants. They sent a deputation to Loughgall; and as a result, two Warrants were issued - numbers 679 and 680 - which were speedily embodied, others following in due course. (*) The ancient name was Lough Finn; but, Saint Patrick happened to be in the locality, he killed a huge snake, which had been devouring the people's crops. The blood of the creature so coloured the water that the name was changed to Lough Derg (the Red Lough). The legend is absurd. Patricius primus was never in the locality; Patricius secundus, a Fermanagh man, founded the station. The penitential exercise was originally performed on the largest island in the lake; but the scene was shifted, in consequence of a melancholy accident on July 12, 1795, involving the loss of 70 lives by drowning while going to the place."
