She was on her way to Liverpool via Plymouth when an error of navigation and bad visibility combined to put her ashore on the Maenheere rocks. Two days after she went ashore, a railway company steamer arrived alongside to disembark the passengers, luggage, and was followed later by every available lighter and coaster in the West Country. On March 20th, in calm conditions, unloading of the cargo into the smaller vessels began and was completed exactly one hour before the weather deteriorated on March 27th. Divers inspected the hull, but the Suevic was so badly damaged in the forepart that explosives were used to detach the bow section from the remainder. The after portion, containing all the valuable machinery, boilers, and passenger accommodation, then floated free and virtually undamaged, was towed to Southampton and dry docked. A new bow section was built at Belfast, then towed to Southampton where the two ends were malted and the Suevic was re-born to sail again. So confident of success were the owners that they advertised her next sailing for January 14th 1908, while the bow section was still on the stocks at Belfast. During the First World War the Suevic served as a troopship, and in 1929 she was sold to a Norwegian whaling company. Re-named the Skyttern, she survived as a whale factory ship until April 1st 1942 when her crew deliberately scuttled her in the Skagerrak rather than let her fall into German Hands.

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.

It was tossed ashore on Porthleven Beach by a south-west gale on November 3rd 1931. She had sailed from Cardiff the previous morning, homeward bound to Vannes with coal, but the fine weather soon changed. Her rudder was smashed by heavy seas and several sails were blown away before she crawled past the Wolf Rock in darkness and was carried to leeward towards Mount's Bay. Throughout the morning on November 3rd she ran before the storm and the sight of the battered schooner brought to readiness every lifeboat from LSA company between Penzance and the Lizard. The master of the St Anne, Captain Le Bitter, headed for Porthleven harbour but was foiled by tremendous seas. The St Anne hauled of a little to the east but, unable to stand up to the gale, she was flung ashore just outside the harbour mouth. The crew climbed into the rigging and clung there as the schooner rolled in the surf. A man swam out with a line but was driven back when almost on point of securing it to the bowsprit guys. The Porthleven rocket brigades first rocket was swept away over the stern into the sea, but the second fell straight and true, just forward of the mainmast, where it was easily secured. One by one the five men and a boy were brought ashore, the last crew to be wrecked in a fashion which for two centuries had brought tragedy and heroism to the eastern shores of Mount's Bay.

Subject The topic of the resource Shipwreck Wreck Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Morrab Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1980 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Port Quinn, Cornwall Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Print Description An account of the resource On Saturday December 15th 1979, HM Coastguard informed Padstow Lifeboat Station that the Skopelos Sky, a 2800 Greek freighter was in trouble off Trevose Head. She was on route from Garston for Algiers with a cargo of drums of lubricating oil. The wind had been blowing up to violent storm, force 11, from a generally westerly direction since the previous day and by 06.00hrs had reached force 14 on the anemometer at RAF St Mawgan. Widespread damage had been caused all over Cornwall. It was now north west storm, force 10, gusting to hurricane, force 12, with rain squalls, and the tide was in the second hour of flood. The seas were by far the worst any of the Padstow Lifeboat crew had ever contemplated. By the time the Padstow Lifeboat, the James and Catherine MacFarlane, reached the Skopelos Sky she was just over a mile offshore of Port Quin. Initially no contact could be made with the crew of the striken vessel and Helicopter Rescue 69 was called to assist. Eventually radio contact was made and the master advised that he was unable to anchor as it was too rough to send a man on to the fo'c'sle. It was agreed that the helicopter would try to lift off some of the crew but after three men had been lifted off, the helicopter's winchman hit the freighter's superstructure three times and the pilot suggested the Lifeboat go in for the remaining men. The survivors were gathered aft, but the height of decks was such that it depended on the arrival of the right sea at the appropriate moment to carry the lifeboat high enough to get the men off. Coxswain England used all his very considerable boat-handing skill and the full power of his engines. Even so the Lifeboat's forward fairlead was badly damaged when Skopelos Sky rolled heavily on to the lifeboat. After five alongside attempts, during which one man threw his suitcase down on to the lifeboat, the freighter's crew waved the Lifeboat away indicating that they would only abandon ship by helicopter. Throughout the five attempts to get alongside, Second Coxswain Tummon and his deck party were on the foredeck of the lifeboat ready to receive the survivors. Coxswain England concluded that rescue by lifeboat was impossible, except perhaps from the sea itself, and he asked the helicopter to try again. The lifeboat then stood by the casualty's stern while seven more men were lifted off. It was just after 11 .OOhrs and the 'on scene commander' asked the Lifeboat to remain standing by until further notice. Skopelos Sky now began steaming east-west in a figure-of-eight pattern across Port Quin Bay still with her starboard list due to the shift of cargo. By 14.00 hrs the wind was still gusting to force 12 and the state of the sea in the bay was awesome. Close inshore nothing could survive. People watching from the cliffs, 200 ft high at Doyden Point, were losing sight of the lifeboat completely for many seconds at a time although she was no more than a quarter of a mile off shore. Coxswain England afterwards said he felt like 'an insect in a ploughed field'. The lifeboat kept constant station on the casualty's quarter, taking every possible advantage of whatever lee the freighter herself afforded but being dangerously exposed every time Skopelos Sky reversed her course; then it was only the most skilful handling by the Coxswain in meeting the worst of the waves which was preventing a capsize. Arrangements were being made for Clovelly's 71 ft Clyde class Lifeboat City of Bristol to take over from Padstow Lifeboat at dusk with Padstow relieving again in the morning. However she had to be diverted to answer another call and Coxswain England said he would be willing to remain with Skopelos Sky all night if necessary. By 1500 it was apparent that it would be dark before long and helicopter rescue might be impossible. Coxswain England advised the master of the casualty to steam to seaward and drop both anchors and all the cable he had in an attempt to save the ship, but the master was unwilling to take this action because of the heavy seas being shipped over the fo'c'sle. In the next hour the lifeboat relayed three messages from the Coastguard to the master of Skopelos Sky advising helicopter lift, and eventually the helicopter Rescue 21 asked the Lifeboat to inform the casualty that he would now fly over and that the remaining crew should come off now. The master said he would head into wind to drop anchor and asked the Lifeboat to stand close by while he sent a man forward to let go anchor in case the man should be washed overboard. The Lifeboat came in as close as possible to the freighter's side and the anchor was dropped. However, not enough cable was veered and it simply hung up and down. Rescue 21 lifted off three more men before it was dark. The master and one oiler were still on board and they shut down Skopelos Sky's engines and switched off all her lights as she lay bows south west and began drifting in with the lifeboat still between her and the shore. The people on the cliffs lost sight of the Lifeboat as she disappeared under the headland over which spray was still flying. Rescue 21 had departed and a Sea King, Rescue 90, using her searchlight, lifted the remaining men from the ship as she grounded below Doyden Point at 17.23hrs. Secondslater the entire freighter was obliterated in spray as she was hit by an enormous breaker. As the spray cleared, what had been a list to starboard had been transformed into a 45 degree list to port, hard among the rocks. With the tide now at half ebb, it would be eight hours before the Lifeboat could enter Padstow. The crew were already suffering from their long ordeal with the sea and so Coxswain England decided to try to rehouse. There was a certain amount of shelter from the north west at the foot of the slip and the wind had moderated slightly by the time the lifeboat arrived, but there was still a heavy run on the boathouse slipway. Coxswain England found the keelway on his first attempt but the Lifeboat ranged 30 feet up and down the slipway and the haul-up span was damaged by the keel. The Lifeboat was then held clear on her engines and breasting ropes for 30 minutes while the spare span was fitted and the winch wire re-flaked by the launchers who were at times being submerged up to their necks. Coxswain England put the Lifeboat back on the slipway, again at the first attempt, and though ranging and thumping very hard she was hauled clear. No damage had been sustained except that to her bow when alongside the casualty and she was reported ready for service again at 20.OOhrs. For this service a bar to his silver medal was awarded to Coxswain Trevor England and the thanks of the Institution inscribed on vellum were accorded to Second Coxswain/ Assistant Mechanic Richard Tummon, Motor Mechanic Horace Murt, Emergency Mechanics Arthur May and Peter Poole and Crew Members Sidney Porter, Alan Tarby and Edward Hicks. The thanks of the Institution inscribed on vellum were also accorded to each and Shore Helpers Ian Macer, Timothy Lloyd, Ian Kendall, Stewart Porter and Frederick Norfolk. Of the slipway helpers: Head Launcher Patrick Rabey, Shore Attendant John Thomas, Assistant Winchman William Tucker. A vellum service certificate was presented to Winchman Ernest Bennett.

Her last voyage began at Cardiff on November 16th 1893, when she sailed for Port Said with a crew of twenty-five and a cargo of coal. Bad weather was encountered the following day when off Hartland Point, and by dawn on the 18th the Serica was in trouble when the storm ripped the tarpaulin covers from off Nos 3 and 4 holds, flooded the main cabin and swept away everything that was moveable abaft the bridge. Her captain, Sydney Smith, had a remarkable escape in that he was washed clean overboard twice, and twice was flung back aboard by the sea. The Serica eventually reached Scilly on the 19th in a very distressed condition with pumps choked, serious damage on deck, and a heavy list. A local Receiver of the Wreck stated that "the only wonder is that the vessel kept afloat." On November 24th, the Serica left St. Marys at low water to continue her voyage, but struck a rock and had to be run ashore 150 yards north-north west of Woolpack Beacon. She was abandoned almost immediately and only minor salvage was ever carried out on the wreck, all work ceasing on January 3rd 1894. The rock the Serica struck was in fact, marked at lying in eight fathoms but was later found to be in less than twenty-four feet. It is doubtful if it was any consolation to her owners, but tat rock was given the name of the ship and today is marked on all charts as the Serica Rock.

She and others like her were known as 'Bounty Clippers', owing their handsome looks to the French navigation bounties, a subsidy which enabled owners to sacrifice capacity for fine lines, instead of settling for the 'wall-siders' and 'bald-headers' of their British counterparts. The Seine was a particularly smart ship, sporting whit masts and yards and the traditional painted ports, with a long forecastle and poop deck. On December 27th 1900, eighty-one days from Iquique to Falmouth for orders with nitrate, the Seine encountered a WNW gale of Scilly. By midnight, Captain Guimper had abandoned all hopes of making port, and at 10:00am, the Seine, under reefed fore-topsails, was sighted from St Agnes Head. The Perranporth and St Agnes rocket brigades were assembled when, early in the afternoon, the big clipper ran in the north of Chapel Rock, and they spliced both their hawsers into a single long one to reach her. Six sailors and a delirious cabin boy were landed before the Seine, gave and an extra violent roll that broke the hawser. Six Newqay youths waded out under her bows, a line was flung down to them, and another five men slid to safety. Captain Guimper was the last to leave the doomed to the breakers, a gutted steel shell which broke up on the next flood tide. A fortnight late the wreck of this once beautiful clipper was sold to Newquay sea captain for a mere £42.
