Again, it was the usual 'wreck weather' for the western cliffs: hazy with heavy ground seas, the aftermath of a hard south-west gale. Shortly after one o'clock in the morning of November 1st 19148, the coastguard on watch at Treen saw the lights of a motor vessel emerge from a fierce squall of rain and head straight for the surf beating upon Pedn-e-Vounder sans. In response to the rapid blink of Aldis Lamp, she turned eastward and vanished round Logan Rock headland. Though she made no signal, either to acknowledge the warning or to ask for help, he called out Treen LSA Company and another coastguard and went down into Penberth Cove. There was no sign of the mysterious ship, but the wind was thick with the stench of fuel oil. Suddenly her saw a young man washing about in the surf and despite almost being swept away, dragged him out and carried him to a nearby cottage. Search parties began to scour the cliffs. A lifejacket marked 'ST GUENOLE-ROUEN' was pickier up on the rocks near the cove, and at dawn a vessel of about 500 tons was found bottom up beneath Gribba point, less then half a mile away. The St Guenole, a steel tar tanker owned by Cie Mar de Transport de Goudron of Rouen, bound in ballast from Nantes to Irvine on Clydside with a crew of twelve, was a total wreck. Twenty-three-year old Andre Fourcin, the sailor saved by the coastguard, was the sole survivor. The St Guenole rusted away beneath the Penberth Cliffs and the memory of the wreck slowly faded.

Title A name given to the resource Caroline Parsons Lifeboat Description An account of the resource Account taken from the RNLI Website RNLI.org Thomas Cocking, Coxswain of the St Ives lifeboat hurries to the lifeboat station and fires two maroons to summon the rest of the crew. The lifeboat, Caroline Parsons, launches in record time and rounds St Ives Head in mountainous seas. Later on, some of the crew describe the waves as being 40ft high. The lights of the stricken steamship are soon sighted, as the area is well-illuminated by car headlights and searchlights. The police and ambulance service rush to the scene, as well as hundreds of onlookers. Coxswain Thomas Cocking skilfully manoeuvres the lifeboat towards the leeward side of the steamship to gain shelter from the enormous breaking waves. He positions the Caroline Parsons alongside the Alba and all 23 of the crew climb down the pilot ladder and into the lifeboat. Once they’re onboard, Cocking tells the captain to order his men to lie down on the deck to help stabilise the lifeboat. At the mercy of the sea As the lifeboat pulls away from the steamship, a huge wave strikes her broadside on. The Caroline Parsons capsizes and 32 men are thrown into the raging seas. This terrible spectacle is witnessed by the people gathered on land, many of whom are related to members of the lifeboat crew. The Caroline Parsons is a modern lifeboat, and self-rights within seconds. Three members of the lifeboat crew cling onto the boat and stay onboard as she rolls onto an even keel. The engine won’t restart but the men help the rest of the crew and most of the shipwrecked sailors back aboard. Without the engine, the lifeboat is now at the mercy of the sea. It’s being blown towards the rocks and driven ashore. The coxswain tells the men not to jump overboard because they will be ‘dashed to pieces’. Seeing the lifeboat being driven onto the rocks prompts hundreds of onlookers to scramble down onto the beach and help rescue the men onboard. One brave man gets into the water to get a line to the lifeboat. After several attempts, he succeeds. The line is secured to the lifeboat and, one by one, the sailors and crew come along the line and make it safely ashore, dragged from the surf by the hordes of waiting rescuers. The lifeboat crew make it to shore unscathed. Captain Horvath has a broken leg, and most of the Alba’s crew are cut and badly bruised – but grateful to be alive. Five of the Alba’s crew haven't made it back to the lifeboat after the capsize and are still missing. Eventually, three bodies wash ashore but the other two are never seen again.

Title A name given to the resource HMS Medea, wrecked at the Doom Bar, January 28th 1939 Description An account of the resource The only visible wreckage on the Doom Bar is the bottom tanks and plating of the minelayer HMS Medea, wrecked on January 28th 1939 during the hurricane which destroyed the Glasgow Collier Winston near Zennor. <br /><br />The 540-ton Medea, launched in 1915 by R.Dixon of Middlesborough as the 12-knot mointor M.22, later HMS Monitor, sporting an old 9.2-in gun and twelve pounder aft, was converted to a minelayer after the First World War. <br /><br />She was attached to HMS Vernon and her last service was as an instructional ship at Malta. In the late 1930s, she was condemned for breaking, but broke tow off Trovose Head while on voyage for Wales. <br /><br />Flares were burned but the Medea, hidden by the rain and spray, drove into Trebetherick in a spot completely inaccessible to the lifeboat. One man was lost overboard but three others were taken off by Breeches Buoy. The Lifeboat stood until 7am, the turned for home and was swamped off Stepper. Sidelights, rails and hatches were lost, siz batteries were cracked, and if the motor had failed there would have been a second lifeboat diaster on the Cornish coast that night. The old monitor was scrapped where she lay, and today only rusting wreckage and a largr concrete drrrick post mark her last resting place. <br /><br />Descritpion from Clive Carter, Cornish Shipwrecks: The North Coast: (London: Penn Books LTD, 1970), p.127.

Title A name given to the resource Clan Malcolm, wrecked at Mulvin Rock, September 26th 1935 Description An account of the resource The wreck of the SS Clan Malcolm off Lizard Point in Cornwall is of particular interest to me because my grandfather Captain Lawrance Wilfrid Gibbins went on board her when he was a junior officer with the Clan Line in the 1920s. Launched in November 1917 by Craig, Taylor and Co. Ltd at Stockton-on-Tees, she had a triple-expansion steam engine and was registered at 5,994 gross tons, and in common with all Clan Line ships she was crewed by British officers and Lascar seamen. After war service from April 1917 to March 1919 she returned to commercial use, sailing on the standard Clan Line routes to and from South Africa, India and Australia. On 8 October 1921 on a voyage from Glasgow to Liverpool she collided in fog with the steamer Rowan, which sank with the loss of 20 lives. At 8 pm on 26 September 1935, while homeward bound with a cargo of maize from Port Natal and Durban via London for Glasgow, she ran aground in fog beneath the Lizard Coastguard Station, her engine room and hold quickly filling with water. The crew were taken off and landed at Cadgwith, but any hope of salvaging the ship was lost and on 4 November she broke her back - photographs taken over those days show the wreck settling until little was visible above water. In the subsequent enquiry the Master was held to blame and had his certificate suspended for a year. I dived on the Clan Malcolm with Ben Dunstan from his boat in June 2021, on a relatively calm day when the tide was just beginning to flow. The wreck lies in 12-14 m depth in the middle of the worst tidal area off the point, where the spring ebb can run at 5 knots - so it is a place to dive with great care. As the photos (including the banner image) show, masses of wreckage including much of the engine and shaft lie under dense growths of kelp that cover much of the seabed. Unlike most of the other wrecks off Lizard Point it is one where there was no loss of life, but even so it is poignant for me thinking of my grandfather and the other crew who trod her decks a century ago.
