What is recorded here
Shark Island is an islet in County Down, Ireland. Perhaps the name warned sailors about sharp rocks hidden beneath calm water rather than real sharks. Maybe fishermen avoided the islet during storm seasons because currents pulled boats toward unseen danger. Imagine a small stone marker standing where the island disappeared, proving the warning was never empty.
