Irish Sea

From Encyclopædia

The Irish Sea is a roughly circular arm of the North Atlantic Ocean bounded by Wales, England, and Scotland on the east and by Ireland to the west. About 210 km (130 mi) in diameter, the sea covers about 103,600 sq km (40,000 sq mi) and has a mean depth of 60 m (200 ft). It joins the Atlantic through the North Channel, between Ireland and Scotland, in the north, and through the saint GEORGE'S CHANNEL in the south. The ISLE OF MAN and Anglesey are its principal islands. The sea's largest ports are Dublin and Liverpool.
