What is recorded here

The public map records City of Waterford as a wreck.
City of Waterford was a steamship that sank in 1897 near the entrance to Waterford Harbour, Ireland, after colliding with the collier *Carrick*. The vessel was en route from Waterford to Liverpool when it struck a submerged rock, causing it to founder with the loss of 13 lives. The wreck remains a notable local maritime incident, illustrating 19th-century shipping hazards in Irish coastal waters.

A wreck point does not grant access or permission to dive, enter land, disturb the site or recover anything. Check current law and local conditions first.
