This concrete ship at the marina in Carlingford is the last surviving ship of its type.
The Cretegaff was built in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex in 1920 by the John ver Mehr shipyard, at a time when there was a shortage of steel. In 1922 she was sold to the Crete Shipping Company and eleven years later Captain S.A. Portus of Garston and used to transport newsprint from Liverpool to the Isle of Man.
She Cretegaff ended her working career in Drogheda having being bought by the Irish Oil & Cake company in 1937 for use as a store for oil barrels at the port.
She was re-named 'The Lady Boyne' and became part of the town's landscape.
In April 1988, she was towed out of Drogheda to Carlingford where she regained her original name Cretegaff. Initially she was used as a breakwater, and when the marina was completed, served as a clubhouse for a number of years until the present Marina complex was completed.
