| Summary: | sunker n The sunkers of Merasheen are the world's worst curse to mothers and mariners alike. When the sea is still, they lie like sleeping monsters below the surface at the harbour's mouth and only a master mariner can tell that they are there at all. But when they are breaking, when the sea erupts over them in a boiling mass of white foam smashing itself to smithereens high in the harbour air, their deadly presence is plain for all to see. High on the cliffs along the northern rim of the harbour, all the white crosses, glistening now in the uncertain morning sun, mark with grim fidelity the unmarkable graves of seamen killed by the sunkers.
