Quilty (), historically ''Killty'',〔(Placenames Database of Ireland ) (see archival records)〕 is a small fishing village between Milltown Malbay and Doonbeg in County Clare, Ireland. Lobster, salmon, bass, herring and mackerel are landed at Quilty, formerly known for its curing industry. The name is thought to come from ''coillte'', meaning ''woods''. The Catholic Church is the most prominent building, its round tower being visible for miles around the flat countryside. It was built in remembrance of the ''Leon XIII'' rescue. == ''Leon XIII'' == On 2 October 1907 a French three-masted barque, the ''Leon XIII'', was driven up on some of the very rocky reefs on Quilty Bay. All seemed lost for the ship and crew. The local fishermen however went out to sea in their currachs – risking the equinoctial gales and Atlantic breakers in small open boats. They reached the wreck and somehow managed to save the crew and bring them safely ashore. The church porch contains a replica of the ''Leon XIII'' in a glass bottle, and the ship's bell stands in front of the altar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quilty, County Clare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
