Description:

South of the Nose of Lambay in the first bay below the falling rocks, about 40m out, is the "Tayleur". Wrecked in 1854 with a loss of over 400 lives she was a three-decked, three-masted sailing ship. One of the first iron vessels, she was wrecked on her way to Australia, it is said, because of compass error. Lying in 15-18m, protected by the bay and with little tidal movement it can get silted up very quickly.The Tayleur is a protected wreck and a license must be obtained from the Office of Public Works, National Monuments Branch, 51 St. Stephens Green, Dublin 2, before diving on her.
