Did you know that the inventor of the submarine was born along the
west coast of Ireland, that ships from the Spanish Armada
floundered off the Irish Atlantic seaboard and that guns for the
1916 Easter Rising were to be landed at Barna Strand in Co. Kerry
but the ship, The Aud, was intercepted by the British Navy? Did you
know that there was a plan to smuggle Marie Antoinette from France
and away from Madame Guillotine to Dingle, that the Fasnet Rock off
the south coast is known as the 'tear drop of Ireland' and that
Maureen O'Hara's husband was a flying boat pilot who regularly flew
into the flying boat station at Foynes? And did you know that
Martello towers were built along the western seaboard during the
Napoleonic Wars in case Napoleon tried to invade Great Britain via
'the back door'? This fact-packed little book is full of all sorts
of information that will surprise even those who think they know
the towns and villages along the Wild Atlantic Way.
