Articles

The article on John de Courcy Ireland would probably be suitable for this WikiProject.

= New articles =

Please feel free to list your new Irish Maritime-related articles in the Project Log Project log (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box the Main Page.

It would be nice to maybe create an invitation template for the talk pages of potential project contributors.
