Corren’s Rock Wreck

 | By Seamus on 3/19/2023 7:58:13 PM | Views (7)
The wreck lies in shallow water and comprises c. 25m of the very lower wooden hull of the vessel, lodged between two reefs. The wreck is heavily eroded as it lies within a dynamic environment with strong tidal currents and is subject to impact from heavy sea conditions. It is located in shallow water, c. 7m at low Spring tides. Local divers, including Liam Miller who reported the find, discovered the wreck in 2007. Subsequent Archaeological investigations on the wreck site from 2010-2011 by the Underwater Archaeology Unit (UAU) of the National Monuments Service, Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht identified that the remains consist of just the very lower, highly abraded hull timbers of the wreck, with all super structure eroded away. The known extent of the remaining hull runs for c. 25m having an NE-SW orientation. Scattered about the place were cupreous pins, bolts and copper nails. To the SW of the in situ hull is located a disarticulated section of heavily eroded keel with protruding keel pins, nails and remains of lead stripping use to keep wads of caulking in place. Pottery with a use period spanning the 18th-19th centuries was recovered along with the eroded centre coak of a wooden sheaf used within a rigging block. The identity of the wreck remains unknown but records for a number of 18th-century and 19th-century ships lost in the general area may indicate that it could be one of them. These include two French vessels involved in the 1798 Rebellion (WIID W07663 & W07331); a trading vessel Traveller of 1819 (W07689); the Alex Maxwell (W07112) and Samuel (W07593) both lost in the year 1821; the Andrew Nugent (W07121) lost in 1839 or the Forest Monarch (W06733) lost in 1848.
