The wreck of the liner Lusitania, sunk by a German U-boat in 1915, has been donated to an Irish museum.
The vessel was once the biggest passengership in the world until its tragic loss in World War I that killed 1,198 people.
The wreck lies 17 kilometres (11 miles) off the Cork coast.
The plan is to display artefacts from the former Cunard vessel at a redeveloped Old Head of Kinsale Museum.
The ship's owner, US businessman Greg Bemis, oversees dives at the site.
He has now gifted the vessel to the museum.
The ship is regarded as a war grave and protected by an underwater heritage order.
Conspiracy theories surround the reasons why the Lusitania met its end.
It has been argued that the British authorities placed it in danger deliberately to draw the US into the conflict.

Maybe no one knew what the rock band Nickelback was singing about with such hits as Burn it to the Ground and Song on Fire.
But now Michael Moore — the maritime attorney, not the documentary filmmaker — may have the answer.
These songs may have been about the future of the lead singer's boat. Or maybe not. It's hard to say.
After a 31-metre yacht caught fire earlier this month at Cracker Boy Boat Works, the lawyer told the Yachting Journal: "Michael Moore, who represents the vessel and her beneficial owner, would neither confirm nor deny the/its beneficial owner is Chad Kroeger, the lead singer and principal songwriter for Nickelback."
Nickelback may have another song for the loss of the yacht titled, Too bad.
