Introduction

This site details just some of the shipwrecks, strandings and disasters, in and around Cork Harbour, Ireland, over the past four centuries.

Cork Harbour is known worldwide for being the last port of call of the Titanic, and is the final resting place of the White Star Line Celtic and the German gun runner Aud among others. The Cunarder Lusitania lies nearby, off the Old Head of Kinsale.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of the visits of cruise ships, with some of the largest calling during the Spring and Summer months, providing welcome vitality to the harbour.

The shipwreck list is a 'work in progress' and will be updated as information becomes available.
