Letter from Margaret ‘Maggie’ Moloney (1869-1959), to Fr. Philip King OFM Cap. (1885-1952). Margaret was celebrated as purportedly the world’s only known female harbour master when she assumed the position in Glin, County Limerick, following the death of her brother James in November 1918. She was also likely the longest-tenured harbour master in Ireland, only retiring from the role in 1952. The letter outlines how her brother worked for fifteen years as harbour master (including through the years of the Great War) and how he had to contend with petty local disputes to retain his role and secure an increase in wages.
