Just wondering

I live in New England USA, maybe 20 minutes from the atlantic ocean.
Just wondering, has anyone here not ever been in or seen the ocean ?

I live on the other side of the Ocean to you - where the Atlantic/Irish Sea and The River Mersey merge....

@ArtieKat Keep practising your geography. The Irish Sea is not the Atlantic Ocean. 🙄

@OliRos The Irish Sea is an arm of the Atlantic - I'm pretty sure

@OliRos
Irish Sea, arm of the North Atlantic Ocean that separates Ireland from Great Britain. The Irish Sea is bounded by Scotland on the north, England on the east, Wales on the south, and Ireland on the west.

@ArtieKat Yes, in the sense that the Indian Ocean is branch of the Pacific Ocean, or the Pacific is a branch of the Atlantic.

@OliRos Take your case up with Britannica, Ms legally-blonde

@ArtieKat

When was your edition of EB published?

I think I will go with Jimmy Wales.

The Irish Sea[a] is a 46,007 km2 (17,763 sq mi) body of water that separates the islands of Ireland and Great Britain. It is linked to the Celtic Sea in the south by St George's Channel and to the Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland[4] in the north by the North Channel. Anglesey, North Wales, is the largest island in the Irish Sea, followed by the Isle of Man. The term Manx Sea may occasionally be encountered (Welsh: Môr Manaw, Irish: Muir Meann[5] Manx: Mooir Vannin, Scottish Gaelic: Muir Mhanainn).[6][7][8]

The Irish Sea joins the North Atlantic at both its northern and southern ends. To the north, the connection is through the North Channel between Scotland and Northern Ireland and the Malin Sea. The southern end is linked to the Atlantic through the St George's Channel between Ireland and Pembrokeshire, and the Celtic Sea.

No mention of arms or branches there.

@ArtieKat That was a bit of a punt. Wikipedia could have come up with anything. 🙄

@OliRos Britannica claimed to be updated this year - I doubt that the waters know where their boundaries are!
OliRos · 22-25, F
@ArtieKat 🙄 You certainly don't!

@OliRos Even Dan agrees with me!

@ArtieKat As I said at the beginning, you may as well say that the Pacific Ocean is an arm of the Atlantic ocean that begins off the southern tip of South America, an arm of North America that begins somewhere on the Panamanian isthmus.

@OliRos As we all know, the Atlantic is just an arm of the Norwegian Sea.
