Minister O’Sullivan commented, “Dublin Bay has a rich maritime history and with that comes stories of loss, hardship and heroism. This exhibition shines a light on some of the 900 known wrecks in the Bay and the stories that surround them. I congratulate Dublin Port and the National Monuments Service on this impressive historical collaboration and encourage people to pay the exhibition a visit.”

The exhibition runs from 18 June – 18 September 2026 in the Dublin Port Substation on East Wall Road and is free for the public, open Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 11am – 3pm.
