What is recorded here
Connacht is a gaff cutter lost off County Down in 1989, resting one hundred metres beneath the Atlantic. That depth strips the ship of lights, music and witness, leaving only pressure, darkness and the slow patience of the sea. The name still belongs to the water, waiting for someone brave or reckless enough to ask it back.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Connacht as Sailing vessel [gaff cutter]. It was lost in 1989. Recorded depth: 100m.
The *Connacht* was a gaff-rigged sailing vessel (cutter) lost in 1989 off Northern Ireland, lying at a depth of 100 meters. Little detail is known about its loss, crew, or cargo; its significance remains locally confined.
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.
