Place & story
Sloops at Ringabella Bay
In his 1837 description of Templebreedy, Samuel Lewis reported that sloops could enter Ringabella Bay on spring tides and discharge coal and other cargo. Exemption from dues made the charge one shilling per ton lower than in the harbour. He separately described the Awenbuoy as navigable for lighters and small sloops, recording different sheltered-water routes serving this coastal parish. [2]
