boiler on beach

Post by davedudek »

I have a boiler in my beach in front of my home which is located at the north end of Wicklow Beach rd on the East side of the Island.

Does anyone know how this boiler came to be on my property?
What is is from?

From an old sawmill that was down there as far as I know.

My kids will be disappointed that it did not come from a ship.

If anyone has any pictures or other info about this, I would love to get a copy to hang in my house.
