Richard Gare Lynch

Richard Gare Lynch, Mayor of Galway, September 1529 - September 1530.

While leaving Galway on a voyage that became very profitable, Lynch fired a gun salute from his ship to a rock in Galway Bay, now thought to be Black Rock, Salthill. Because of the success of the voyage, the salute was repeated by his descendants over the next century.
