| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The "Luck of the Irish" is a well- known concept worldwide; but when it comes to sailing, Irish waters can prove to be just about as unlucky as they come. This book looks at the long legacy of Irish mariners, the places where sailors ought beware and the ships that have fallen victim to war or natural occurrences in Irish waters. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
