The Irish Sea, a body of water with a rich and turbulent history, spans from the narrow North Channel to the expansive Celtic Sea, where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. This sea has witnessed the arrival of Vikings, saints, invasion forces, royals, and rebels, as well as the migration of writers, musicians, and fishermen. Its shores have been the site of great shipyards, the tragic exodus of starving individuals during the Irish Famine, and the journeys of workers seeking employment in England.
The Irish Sea is not only a place of human history but also a haven for nature. It boasts a diverse natural history, with the summer arrival of the rarest sea bird in Europe and the winter migration of the rarest goose wings. The Turning Tide, a captivating and insightful book, navigates these waters, filled with seals, salt-tanged stories, and the survey of seabirds. Written in a lyrical style and brimming with curiosity, this work offers a remarkable and expansive perspective on the Irish Sea and its significance in world history.
