What is recorded here

Mermaid is a wooden ship lost in 1854 off County Down, Ireland. The sea stripped the wreck clean and scattered crockery across Chapel Bay, turning a trading vessel into a field of broken plates and drifting timber. That sudden loss still belongs to the water, waiting for a diver to assemble what the tide took apart.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Mermaid as Wooden wreck. It was lost in 1854. Recorded condition: Crockery and wreckage scatted, lots washed into Chapel Bay.
