Devereux

Shipwreck

What is recorded here

Devereux is a barque lost off County Antrim in 1864, still giving up timber that pokes through the sandy beach whenever the tide retreats. The ship broke against that coast more than a century ago, yet her bones remain visible enough to mark the exact line where human ambition met seawater. She is not hidden beneath metres of ocean; she lies waiting for low water to reveal how much of the voyage still resists forgetting.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Devereux as Barque. It was lost in 1864. Recorded depth: 0m. Recorded condition: Timber remnants protrude from sandy beach at low water. Legal protection recorded by the source: HMAOO 1995.
The *Devereux*, a barque lost in 1864, was discovered with timber remnants protruding from a sandy beach at low water; no details of lives or cargo lost are recorded, and its wider significance remains unspecified.
