Messrs Google have kindly permitted me to make available on my website a copy of the early nineteenth century Sailing Directions for the Shannon Estuary and for Loughs Derg, Ree and Erne. These Directions were compiled by Commander James Wolfe RN between 1835 and 1848 and should not be relied on for navigation, but there is much of historical interest in them. You can download the PDF from the front page of my site at
