I believe it is sailboats though how big can they get? I would love to visit Ireland from St. Johnโ€™s then bicycle and ride the train around the emerald island.

Should you want to travel within Europe once you've made it this far, here's a search tool for all train timetables in Europe: https://fahrplan.oebb.at/webapp/?language=en_GB

(Okay, it's missing Euskotren, in Ukraine it only shows long distance trains, and in Estonia and Latvia only the one international connection is shown. But I think this is the full list of exceptions)

The site of German railways does the same, but is missing a few nifty features. That's why I typically recommend ร–BB's site.

Then again, the German site, http://bahn.de/, has an address that is faster to use because it loads directly to the search without first needing to click a "show timetable only" button and then even waiting a few seconds for "Scotty" to load. But indeed, it's nice to be able to set a third via point in the search and see the route on the map, so if you can spare the extra 15 seconds or just have the link bookmarked, ร–BB's search takes the win. Both sites use the same timetable database.
