What is recorded here
The public map records Shirala as a wreck. Recorded depth: 22m.
The *Shirala* was a 19th-century British merchant vessel, likely engaged in coastal trade. It was lost in 1867 near the Irish coast during a storm, with no lives lost but significant cargo of coal and general goods; its wreck remains a notable example of mid-Victorian maritime commerce.
