SS "St. Patrick".
Aged 17.
Son of Moses and Alice Brennan, of Wexford.
The Pembroke/Rosslare ferry St. Patrick was attacked by a lone German aircraft about 15 miles off the Irish coast on the 17 August 1940. The aircraft attacked the ferry with its machine guns hitting seaman Moses Brennan in the leg. The ferry continued its passage to Rosslare where the seaman was taken off and transferred to Wexford hospital where he had a leg amputated. Because of the unavoidable delay in sailing into Rosslare Harbour and then transferring him to Wexford Hospital, Moses Brennan later succumbed to his wounds. The ferry was attacked again ten months later on 13 June 1941 mid-St. George's Channel and sunk with the loss of thirty souls including Moses Brennan's son John Brennan, who had joined the ship after his father had died.
