Apparently, the siren wiki says that there is a possible Cosgrave siren in the Dominican Republic? I'm kind of wondering how they got this info, and if there are possible photos. Is there actually another Cosgrave in the Dominican Republic?

The claim originated from Justin Hockings on the Siren Enthusiasts Facebook group. Seeing as the photo is from a distance, and there aren't any high quality images of the siren available, I can't personally confirm that it really is a Cosgrave. As such, the Wiki does not claim it to be one for sure.

While it certainly bears some resemblance, the image is very blurry and it could very well be a siren from a different brand entirely.

Until someone provides sufficient evidence, I am very skeptical that this is a Cosgrave.

Gamewell was not widely known for exporting Cosgrave sirens outside of the US.

Looking more into the siren, I notice that the siren itself is way too small to be a Cosgrave, because that pole is either on the roof of the building or is behind. Looking at the zoomed in photo, the pillars that hold the top up from the siren is actually mounted to the base of the siren, not the inside on the top of the motor housing.

My best guess now is that it is a siren with a custom housing, but it could still very well be a green painted Cosgrave.
