What is recorded here

County Derry water still holds the Vought F4U Corsair, a 1944 aircraft wreck beneath the surface. The sudden loss may have come from fuel, fire or a trap in the dark, but the sea kept the metal instead of returning it. Bronze age hands would not recognise the shape, yet human life still touched the machine before it fell.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Vought F4U Corsair as Aircraft. It was lost in 1944. Legal protection recorded by the source: PMRA 1986.
