The Irish coastline is first and foremost known for its cliffs, beaches and overall breathtaking beauty. Not only that, today a new website has been launched allowing us to access information about the thousands of shipwrecks hidden in our waters. The Wreck Viewer interactive map is linked to the Wreck Inventory of Ireland database and contains exact locations for around 4,000 ships. The Wreck Viewer holds information on 18,000+ known & likely wrecks both off the Irish coast & in our inland waterways. pic.twitter.com/TdsKhS83BQ — DCHG / RCOG (@DeptAHG) April 25, 2018The website also contains information on their history, voyage, cargo, passengers and, if known, how they were lost.
