It was stated that the foremast light should be visible for 5 miles and port and starboard lights 2 miles. Charges brought by Captain Charles Chester Cartwright QBE, Nautical 7.Surveyor of the Survey Branch of the Mercantile Marine Department of the Board of Trade against both boats. Both skippers were fined £5. The Magistrate issued a warning that if any similar case came again a heavier penalty would be imposed. The Clerk of the Court, Capt C.E.

Title A name given to the resource Submarine L1 British WW1 Submarine wreck Description An account of the resource Anyone looking for something a bit out of the ordinary on the weekend of 30/31 March 1930 got a bit of a treat at Porth Nanven. Washed ashore on Saturday 30th was the British World War One submarine L1. The Cornishman reported that the vessel was well embedded in the sand at one end while the other was “piled upon the rocks”. According to the Cornishman the sub was spotted well aground at 7.45am by Mr James Chapple of Cot Valley but people in the cove at 6am the same morning seemingly saw nothing at all. L1 had been under tow from Chatham on her way to be broken up at Cashmore's ship breaking yard in Newport. The sea around Cape Cornwall had been rough overnight on Friday/Saturday and tow broke. The tug, Eastleigh, made her way to St Ives while the submarine was washed ashore and clearly driven into the rocks as photographs show. L1 lay on the beach at Porth Nanven for some time until a team from Cashmores broke her up where she lay. The submarine was built by Vickers at Barrow-in-Furness where she was laid down on 18 May1916. She was commissioned on 18 November 1917 and joined the 6th flotilla at Portsmouth under her first skipper Lt. Cdr. R.B. Darke. The first three years of her career were spent in home waters but in 1920 she sailed for Hong Kong where she remained until at least 1923.

There was a thick fog at the time, and the ship got out of her course, presumably through a strong set of the tide. 'A resident on the coast heard the sound of rockets, and so close was the steamer to the shore that he hailed her and advised the crew to get into their boats. He directed them where to land by means of a lantern, and though the work of landing was attended with great danger, it was carried out without loss of life. The captain's wife and son were among the rescued. The rocket brigade was summoned from Mousehole and had a very difficult journey over hilly roads to the scene of the wreck, but before they reached the place the crew had been landed. 'The SOUTH AMERICA is a vessel of 2,700 tons register, and 7,000 tons carrying capacity. She is owned by Lowther, Latter and Co., of London. She left Hamburg on Sunday, and was due at Cardiff today. Her commander was Captain A. Bawling, of Margate. It is stated that water is in her holds and the engine-room.' (10) 'Two wrecks occurred on the Cornish coast during a fog early yesterday morning. 'In the first case the French steamer ABERTAY, from Lorient with pit props for Barry, went ashore in Boskenna Bay near Land's End, and was so near the wreck of another steamer, the SOUTH AMERICA, which went ashore at the same spot last March, that the crew were able to get on the deck of that derelict vessel.

Title A name given to the resource Newspaper image of " SS Blue Jacket" off Longships Lighthouse Description An account of the resource SS Blue Jacket ran around at longships. Following account taken from Penwith Local History GroupThe last cargo of the long passage – railway sleepers from Danzig – is safely landed at Plymouth. It should be an easy trip for the Blue Jacket, round Land’s End to South Wales. Three compasses and steam steering fitted, all recently examined and found to be in perfect order. Sea flat; stars out; lights all clearly visible. Two men on watch tonight, one steering and one lookout. Asleep below, another 21 men, some no doubt dreaming happily of the streets, chapels, public houses of Cardiff. The Captain’s a young man, and his wife’s on board, so he’s happy too. What could possibly go wrong? Yes, Captain Thomas knows that, in theory, there should be three on watch. But he’s let the first mate – William Rouffignac of Newlyn - have a good night’s sleep. (William is the brother of Ambrose Roffignac who was the subject on On This Day 24 August 1898) After all, there’s the empty hold to clean out tomorrow, and after that desertion at Algiers, and the bosun being discharged at Falmouth, the numbers are a bit light. Who can blame the captain for bending the rules? For cutting through a bit of red tape, a bit of bureaucratic nonsense? The ship passes the Lizard, making its way towards Land’s End. Captain Thomas decides to call it a night, goes below. The second mate, Mr Sinclair, is perfectly competent – he’s got his paperwork. But still, Land’s End is Land’s End. The captain comes back up when the lighthouses are in view, checks all is well, returns below. Mr Sinclair has been round Land’s End before; knows the ropes. He remembers quite clearly; pass to the inside of the Longships lighthouse. And his recollections of tonight will also be clear – that he went back to the captain, who was relaxing on a settee in his berth, and who told him: "All right, haul it right ahead… I will be up directly." But Captain Thomas will claim otherwise; claim that he was never even called. So it is, then, that things start to fall apart. The man on lookout – Mr Hughes - has to go and trim wicks on the lamps, leaving nobody except Mr Sinclair who - perhaps slightly anxious now – edges to port, intent on passing to the inside of the lighthouse. The one thing he knows about Land’s End, is that this is the right thing to do. The steering is slow to answer, though, and he runs for the captain, while the wheelman telegraphs down to the engine room: full astern. But it’s too late; far, far too late. The closing minutes of November 9th see her “dashed with tremendous force on the ledge of rock, so that the bow was sent up high on the rocks, while her bottom was torn away right to the engine-room”. Mrs Thomas is thrown against a bulkhead, and sees the doors of a bookcase fly open. And so the day ends with Blue Jacket fast on the rocks, less than 50 yards from the lighthouse, a 20 foot gash in her side. “She commenced to make water rapidly in the fore and main holds and in the engine room”, the Board of Trade report will state, “and it became apparent that nothing could be done to save her”. Happily, not a single person was to lose their life that night: the Sennen lifeboat would have a straightforward task in the calm sea. What nobody could understand was how, with the lights of both ship and lighthouse plainly visible and the crew and lighthouse keepers close enough to converse, with all the modern equipment on board, such a thing could have happened. At the official hearing, blame would be placed squarely on the “defaults and negligence of the master”. He was in good health, had enjoyed a day’s rest in Plymouth and had an easy run home ahead of him: these things considered, the Board of Trade ruled, he had no business leaving the bridge. His certificate was suspended for six months.

Title A name given to the resource Print of 'The Nile' Screw Steam Ship with sails Wrecked off Godrevy Description An account of the resource Postcard of an etching of 'The Nile' . Wrecked off Godrevy Point partially responsible for a campaign to instal a lighthouse on Godrevy Source: Wikipedia The Nile, an iron-hulled screw steamer, was built at Dumbarton in 1850. She was first operated by the Moss Line of Liverpool and inaugurated the line's Mediterranean service. In 1853 her ownership passed to James Stirling of Dublin and her operations to the British and Irish Steam Packet Company Loss On her last voyage, Nile was travelling from Liverpool to London, calling at Penzance, Falmouth, Plymouth and Portsmouth en route. She was carrying a cargo of heavy merchandise and could also accommodate passengers at low rates, though due to the late time of year few people would have taken such a roundabout route.[1] She had been due to leave Liverpool on Sunday 26 November but due to bad weather had to delay her journey for two days.[3] She left Liverpool on the evening of Tuesday 28 November and was last seen about 40 miles (64 km) from the Longships Lighthouse on the evening of 30 November, making her way through rough seas and high winds.[1] The following day, a ship sailing from Hayle to Penzance spotted oil floating on the water. Later on 1 December it became apparent that an accident had overtaken the Nile when papers addressed to the captain, spars, empty casks and other debris were washed ashore at Portreath. The ship's stern was spotted a day or two later and several bodies, five of which were female, were washed ashore at Tehidy. One of them was identified as the stewardess of the Nile.[1] Cause and casualties of the disaster The cause of the disaster was not definitively established. It is likely that the captain, W.F. Moppett of Dublin, drifted off course by about 18 to 20 miles in the bad weather, resulting in the ship hitting The Stones. The Nile may have managed to back away from the rocks but foundered in 12 to 14 fathoms of water. Those aboard were either unable to escape due to the ship's rapid disintegration or were overwhelmed by the waves when they tried to launch the lifeboats.[1] The ship was thought to have struck the rocks around 2 or 3 am shortly after the flood tide, judging by the disposition of the wreckage in St Ives Bay.[3] There were about 24 crew aboard, consisting of the captain, two mates, a steward and stewardess, carpenter, boatswain, 18 engineers, stokers and sailors.[4] The number of passengers was unclear. Several missed the ship's departure due to its late exit from Liverpool. One man had a fortunate escape when he spent too long drinking ashore with a friend and missed the ship's departure. He hurried on to Bristol via another steamer and travelled overland to Hayle to catch up with the Nile so that he could be reunited with his luggage, which was still aboard, but found on arriving that he had lost his luggage but saved his life. Another man arrived at the ship just as the bridge to the deck was being removed and offered a shilling to a porter to replace it, but was refused; he thus missed the departure and unknowingly escaped the shipwreck.[3] The value of the Nile was estimated at around £40,000 to £50,000 (around £3.2 million to £4 million in 2013 prices) and was almost fully insured, but much of the cargo – mainly goods from Manchester despatched to drapers at Penzance, Truro and Falmouth – was uninsured and the consignees suffered heavy losses as a result of the sinking.[4] Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Malcolm Waters Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Morrab Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1853-11-30 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Morrab Library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Postcard Type The nature or genre of the resource Engraving Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context M.2509 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Godrevy https://photoarchive.morrablibrary.org.uk/files/original/Miscellaneous_Photos/20295/M.2508.tif 86195ee7495dcfb9a7538dd6d355a0e5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource St. Ives Lifeboat 'John and Sarah Eliza Stych Description An account of the resource In the early hours of 23 January 1939 there was a Force 10 storm blowing with gusts of wind at 100 miles per hour (160 km/h). A large steamship was reported to be in trouble off Cape Cornwall but the Sennen Cove lifeboat could not be launched due to the low state of the tide. At 3:00 AM the John and Sarah Eliza Stych was launched into the dark.[5] Along with Cocking were seven more men: John Cocking (his son), Matthew Barber, William Barber and John Thomas who had all been in the Caroline Parsons wreck, along with Edgar Bassett, Richard Stevens, and William Freeman.[4] The boat rounded The Island where it met the full force of the storm as it headed westwards. Off Clodgy Point it capsized but did what it was designed to do and righted itself. Five of the crew were in the sea; only Freeman made it back into the boat. The engine was restarted but the propeller was fouled and they drifted back towards The Island where they dropped anchor but the rope parted and it capsized and righted a second time; only three survived this time. The boat now drifted north-eastwards across St Ives Bay towards Godrevy Point where it capsized for a third time. When it righted only Freeman was left. He scrambled ashore when the boat was smashed on the rocks.[5] All eight crew members were awarded bronze medals.[6] Since then two more Tommy Cockings, the drowned coxswain's son and grandson, have served as coxswain on the St Ives Lifeboat.[7] Source Wikipedia Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richards Brothers, Penzance Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Malcolm Waters Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Morrab Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1939-1-23 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Morrab Library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Print Type The nature or genre of the resource Photograph Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context M.2504 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Godrevy
