Daniel O'Beeve writes: (1969): "The boat was full of drunks.  Lost men and boys.  The casualties of Irish history thwarted; dispossession; oppression; denigration.  I can’t bear the stench of booze, and so I book a berth and go below to sleep.  It’s only 8.15 in the evening when I climb into my berth in search of unconsciousness." http://www.abc-counselling.com/id371.html
