The basking shark is seen around Irish shores but surprisingly there are few references specifically to them in Irish mythology. However, there is a class of very old Irish stories known as Immram or in Gaeilge Iomramh which is a collective name for stories about sea voyages where adventurers ventured out into the Ocean to search for the "Otherworld". There are many references to great sea creatures in their epic tales such as the Voyage of Máel Dúin, Bran and St Brendan.
