Is it GPS locations you are after?
Tom, the only other site I know of is
http://users.pandora.be/tree/wreck/wrec ... site.html#
then click on 'Marine Charts'
Note this site only works in Internet Explorer, it does work in Firefox browser that I normally use.
Cheers,

Hi Tom,
Actually some of the wrecks do have GPS on irish wrecks on line. Try clicking on some of the wrecks listed. There looks to be only one clickable link for the cork area :
http://www.irishwrecksonline.net/detail ... er115a.htm
If you get some wreck names on irish wrecks online and search the other site I mentioned you will get GPS for example wreck - 'Enda' (51°15,825N 01°36,690E) you will get the GPS that way.
Hope that helps mate.
Cheers,
Trev

I wouldn't take a whole pile of notice of coordinates posted on websites at best they are mostly just approximate and just taken from admiralty charts.
The only one listed for Cork the "Bardini Reefer" can be clearly seen at low water as part of the wreck dries out, so wouldn't be hard to find :wink:

Wreck Info
If you contact the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office at 01823 337900 ext 3308 ( Ring 00441823 337900 ) they can supply the most recent listings of all wrecks within whatever area you want . I found them very helpful and for a small fee you'll get all the info you want !!

All cack! There are very few wrecks that are where they are listed. Some no longer exist. Some buried in sand, Most record where last radio transmission ended. Some where they sank and have since moved. Some don't even hold many fish. Hydrographic office lends little new information in my experience. Only propper ways to find wrecks is to go out and systematicly search for them, hassle trawlermen and divers. If they were common knowledge there would be no fish on them and every clown with a rod would be on them.
Rule no. 1 - Keep your eyes and ears open (Its good to talk but more important to listen :wink: )
Rule no. 2 - Be diilagent. read books, read mags, look at maps, understand currents in the area, read diving websites study photos.
Rule no 3 - Always be on the watch for ribs and what they are up to. If the stop ask yourself why? If they get in the water tear after them and mark their position. Be crafty. It pays off... :wink:
