Maritime Ireland

Another book to add to my future reading list is The King's Customs, Vol 1 by Atton & Holland published in 1908.  It is supposed to be "an account of maritime revenue & contraband traffic in England, Scotland and Ireland, from the earliest times to the year 1800."  I have yet to challenge this claim, but for now a reminder is set in this post that I need to do so.  A quick perusal indicates that the information in the book may start around the time of Edward I or the late 13th century.
