Some said a phantom ship that night went by,

Some thought they saw a boat along the shore,

Some heard a voice from out the billows cry

And then all vanished with the ocean’s roar.

Next morn they sought her in the hovel poor,

But sign of hut or hovel there was none!

Poor Brinie and her brood were all secure,

But every trace of Jeanie Parke was gone!

William Clarke Robinson, Antrim Idylls and Other Poems

Close to Glenarm, on the Coast Road, a rock formation that has a view of Glenarm Bay has gained the name ‘the madman’s window’. The description goes back some 200 years and refers to the accidental drowning of a young woman. Her partner never got over the tragedy and, like Jean, could not accept the death of his love. Every day he sat gazing through the rocks in the hope of seeing her again. But stories about the perils of the sea do not come much bigger than the next.
