Irish Merchant Marine
during the Emergency
Memorial erected in Dublin in 1991 to members of the Irish Mercantile Marine lost during the Emergency

Below is the timeline of maritime events during the Emergency,[note 2][1] (as World War II was known in Ireland). This period was referred to as The Long Watch by Irish Mariners. This list is of events which affected the Irish Mercantile Marine [note 3], other ships carrying Irish exports or imports, and events within Irish territorial waters.

Timeline
