It looks like the UK just barfed and this is the result….
Didn’t think the Spanish armada was that big.
Mr Europe, I don’t feel so good
Getting sick of true crime and cult podcasts, so I’ve been watching/listening to weird amounts of shipwreck stuff instead. Highly recommended.
One of those red dots is a ship my great great grandad, Slugger, was on. Set sail from Cobh with a cargo of bricks for the grand city hall in New York. RIP
Does it intentionally follow Ireland’s borders? Like does it leave out shipwrecks counted as in Northern Ireland’s sea?
This is shipwrecks in our territorial waters?
There’s a few wrecks around Wicklow not necessarily ships though 🤣
They all looking for Atlantis or Brasil.
do we just not have the data for the northern irish coast oor is there peculiarly few shipwrecks around there?
Northern Ireland looks pretty innocuous! Can anyone explain this?
So we’re not gonna talk bout how that looks like a Bermuda Triangle Part 2?
That’s it. I’m flying next time.
I love shipwrecks!!!
How the fck do you shipwreck inland?!
Ps: I know these are rivers… But I have seen most of the Irish rivers. They are all but dangerous…
Ships built in Belfast must be unsinkable.
There’s a very interesting book recently published, meticulously detailing close to 300 ship wrecks in the Irish Sea, published by sidestone press.

All of the 273 shipwrecks in a 7,500sqm study area in the Irish Sea were surveyed using multibeam echosounder. The methodologies subsequently developed to identify the wrecks enabled names to be given to 80% of the unknown ships, verified by their dimensions, their geographic position, and archival descriptions of the sinking of each ship. In all 87% of the ships in the study are now identified.
In historic terms, the newly identified wrecks included myriad vessels from trawlers, cargo vessels, submarines, through to the largest ocean liners and tankers. They include rare ship designs, losses of national importance, and naval graves. Several of the wrecks uncovered have potential environmental concerns. The accurate dating of so many wrecks in one area has a major impact on the study of seabed dynamics and site formation processes, creating better models for the placement of windfarms and tidal generators.
This research is important because the seabed of the world is being increasingly mapped in detail, and shipwrecks are being located in large numbers. This research developed a low-cost means of inventorising shipwreck datasets across entire national zones without costly physical interaction with each wreck site. It should be of key interest to marine scientists, environmental agencies, hydrographers, heritage managers, maritime archaeologists, and historians around the world.

The Irish ship kill ray 💕💕 sorry ships 💞
Donegal up to no good.
Thought Thanos had snapped us there for a second
The Auld Triangle.
So many ships lost there.
Remind me to do my sailing around Belfast, it looks very safe
Where is this information taken from ?
Surprisingly few around Galway and Mayo given how rough the seas are there.

Like in witcher 3, need to explore every one
Bound to be some valuable shit on some of those
