Subject The topic of the resource The Mosel was a steamer owned by Norddeutscher Lloyd Line. She had been plying across the North Atlantic with migrants from Bremen to New York, via Southampton, for almost nine years. In 1875, two years after her launch, a bomb planted on board by anarchists explored prematurely in Bremen docks killing eighty-one people. Early in 1882, the Mosel was fitted with new engines and sailed for New York on August 6th. Besides the his crew of one hundred, Captain Julius Hesse had the responsibility of twenty saloon-class passengers and 600 emigrants. In addition, she carried valuable cargo, specie, mail and 400 tons of English woollen goods. At 7:30 Am on August 9th, with the first and fourth officers on the bridge, the Mosel neared the Lizard. Occasional fog-banks impaired visibility and the lookouts had nothing more than infrequent glimpses of the shore. But the ship had passed this way dozens of times before and, confident in her course, her officers held on her full cruising speed of fourteen knots. Just after 8:00 am the Mosel ran into a heavier bank of fog and ten minutes later steamed headlong into Bass Point, directly beneath Lloyd's signal station. She was so close to the cliffs the duty signalman climbed down, jumped on to the forecastle and spoke to the captain and officers in the saloon. In no immediate danger, the passengers were ordered to pack their baggage. The Falmouth tug, Rosetta, took off the bullion, mail, and some of the saloon passengers, while a proportion of the general cargo was transferred to the tugs Victor, Kimberly, and Sylph. By noon, the rising tide had flooded the engine room cutting off the steam pressure and rendered the winches useless. Soon afterwards a small fire broke out in the engine room an it was decided to abandon ship. All the passengers and crew were landed safely, the emigrants being house in the warehouse of Falmouth Dock Company. On August 11th, the Irish packet, Countess of Dublin, took the saloon passengers aboard for America, the remainder travelling on the Herman, a sister ship of the Mosel. The wreck settled lower in the sea, and at high water lay bows-on to the cliff, with the stern completely under the water. Divers sent down to examine the hull found plates torn open by the stern to about eighty feet aft, but considered the salvage was still possible. Work commenced on patching the holes but was soon stopped by ground swells, and on August 24th the Mosel broke in half. The wreck was only partially salvaged between winter gales and the greater part of it still lies below Bass Point.

She scraped past the Land's End Cliffs, and though water was pumped into her holds to force her deeper into the sea, she drove on. By noon the Tripolitania was inside the Lizard and, knowing she was doomed, Captain Reppito called the crew on to the bridge and told them that he was going to beach on Loe Bar.  At full speed she surged up the coast, then the wheel was put hard rescue to arrive the Italians flung a roper over the bows and though the first man who slid down was swept away, twenty-seven others got safely ashore. During the next few ays the Tripolitania was driven farther up the bar sands, but she was little damaged and the work of refloating her began. Scores of labourers dug away the sand which continually built around her, coffer dams were erected and channels cut back to the sea.  Months passed, and she still remained on the bar. In August 1913 hopes of salvage were still good, but on November 4th a south-west gale and high spring tide destroyed a year's work in a night. By dawn she had wallowed her way 300 yeards further inshore and settled down even deeper; Tripolitania was launched on the Mersey in 1905 as the Drumgarth, for John Heron & Co of Liverpool. She later became the Lord Cromer, and in December 1911 passed to Luigi Pillagura of Genoa. By a coincidence, her last captain before she was sold to the Italians was Captain J.J Beckerleg of Marazion, whose home was only half a dozen mile from Loe Bar.  Description from Richard Larn and Clive Carter, Cornish Shipwrecks: The South Coast (Newton Abbot: David & Charles, 171), p. 163. 1911-1930 Seafaring and shipping shipwreck https://photoarchive.morrablibrary.org.uk/files/original/The_Ronald_Garlick_Newport_Collection_of_Gibson_Wreck_Photographs/16230/RGN.088.tif ceaf822bd08e42df29324cfd5c0b7165 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource This photo shows the Minnehaha with tug and boats attending prior to salvage, 11th May 1910. The S.S Minnehaha was a 13,443 tons gross Atlantic Transport Company steam liner that went aground on the eastern side of Scilly Rock at 12:50 on April 18th 1910. The Minnehaha was built and registered in Belfast by Harland & Wolf I 1900. On passage from New York to Tilbury with 171 crew, 66 first class passengers, a general cargo, and 243 steers. Captain Sydney Leyland, the company's senior master mariner, had been unable to take an observation since the 14th of the month, and by noon on the 17th estimated that he was 170 miles from the Bishop Rock and would pass at least six miles south of the lighthouse without any further changes of course. Fog dictated a reduction in speed to six knots during the evening, and although a sounding taken at midnight showed forty-seven fathoms, breakers were seen ahead only minutes later, and with scarcely more than a slight bump, the liner slid gently ashore. Distress-guns fired by the Bishop Light-keepers brought out the St. Marys lifeboat, but by the time it arrived at the wreck all the passengers had been landed by pilot-gigs from Bryher. The lifeboat stood by until 3pm, when Cape Leyland ordered everyone except his officers and a few members of the crew to board a waiting tug. The Falmouth Tugs, Victor and Dragon, summoned by urgent radio signals, arrived in time to see the crew start heaving cargo out of Nos 2 and 3 holds to lighten the ship, and throwing it into the sea. Brand new motor cars were winched outboard and dropped, followed by grand pianos, crated machinery of every description, sewing machines, carpets, and other valuable items by the ton. The frightened steers joined the rest of the cargo in the sea, and assisted by the gigs whose roped the cattle alongside by their horns. At least 200 animals reached Bryher safely. A Lowestoft trawler came into St. Marys Roads with a crated motor-car on deck, having recovered it floating near the Wolf Rock. When asked what should be done with it, the Receiver of Wreck took the fishermen to the end of Hugh Town jetty and pointed out across the sound where dozens of similar crates could be seen bobbing about in the sea. By April 20th, a fleet of tugs and salvage vessels were in attendance, and the serious business of getting the ship afloat again began. The first move on the part of the Liverpool Salvage Company and the Swedish firm which was assisting them, was to build a false floor of timber in each hold at low water, caulking each seam so as to make it watertight. Other false decks were built in succession at each hatch level, so thar eventually six platforms were in positon in each hold. The air compressors were then started but for days there was little apparent result as the increasing pressure under the floors slowly pushed back the sea.  On May 11th, the Minnehaha refloated and came down so fast that she nearly ran down the waiting tugs whose assistance was not needed. Later escorted by the tugs Dragon, Tritton, and Victor, plus the salvage vessels Ranger, Belos, Linnet, and Herakles, the liner maintained a steady ten knots all the way to Falmout, where she was anchored in St. Just Pool and the remaiing cargo discharged by local labour when the London stevedores specially brought to Cornwall went on strike.  Description of wreck used from Richard Larn, Cornish Shipwrecks: The Isles of Scilly (Newton Abbot, David & Charles, 1971), p. 127-131. 1891-1910 Seafaring and shipping shipwreck https://photoarchive.morrablibrary.org.uk/files/original/The_Ronald_Garlick_Newport_Collection_of_Gibson_Wreck_Photographs/16228/RGN.105.tif 8b3198c067084be837bed49441f6cb1f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Minnehaha was built and registered in Belfast by Harland & Wolf I 1900. On passage from New York to Tilbury with 171 crew, 66 first class passengers, a general cargo, and 243 steers. Captain Sydney Leyland, the company's senior master mariner, had been unable to take an observation since the 14th of the month, and by noon on the 17th estimated that he was 170 miles from the Bishop Rock and would pass at least six miles south of the lighthouse without any further changes of course. Fog dictated a reduction in speed to six knots during the evening, and although a sounding taken at midnight showed forty-seven fathoms, breakers were seen ahead only minutes later, and with scarcely more than a slight bump, the liner slid gently ashore. Distress-guns fired by the Bishop Light-keepers brought out the St. Marys lifeboat, but by the time it arrived at the wreck all the passengers had been landed by pilot-gigs from Bryher. The lifeboat stood by until 3pm, when Cape Leyland ordered everyone except his officers and a few members of the crew to board a waiting tug. The Falmouth Tugs, Victor and Dragon, summoned by urgent radio signals, arrived in time to see the crew start heaving cargo out of Nos 2 and 3 holds to lighten the ship, and throwing it into the sea. Brand new motor cars were winched outboard and dropped, followed by grand pianos, crated machinery of every description, sewing machines, carpets, and other valuable items by the ton. The frightened steers joined the rest of the cargo in the sea, and assisted by the gigs whose roped the cattle alongside by their horns. At least 200 animals reached Bryher safely. A Lowestoft trawler came into St. Marys Roads with a crated motor-car on deck, having recovered it floating near the Wolf Rock. When asked what should be done with it, the Receiver of Wreck took the fishermen to the end of Hugh Town jetty and pointed out across the sound where dozens of similar crates could be seen bobbing about in the sea. By April 20th, a fleet of tugs and salvage vessels were in attendance, and the serious business of getting the ship afloat again began. The first move on the part of the Liverpool Salvage Company and the Swedish firm which was assisting them, was to build a false floor of timber in each hold at low water, caulking each seam so as to make it watertight. Other false decks were built in succession at each hatch level, so thar eventually six platforms were in positon in each hold. The air compressors were then started but for days there was little apparent result as the increasing pressure under the floors slowly pushed back the sea.  On May 11th, the Minnehaha refloated and came down so fast that she nearly ran down the waiting tugs whose assistance was not needed. Later escorted by the tugs Dragon, Tritton, and Victor, plus the salvage vessels Ranger, Belos, Linnet, and Herakles, the liner maintained a steady ten knots all the way to Falmout, where she was anchored in St. Just Pool and the remaiing cargo discharged by local labour when the London stevedores specially brought to Cornwall went on strike.  Description of wreck used from Richard Larn, Cornish Shipwrecks: The Isles of Scilly (Newton Abbot, David & Charles, 1971), p. 127-131. 1891-1910 Seafaring and shipping shipwreck https://photoarchive.morrablibrary.org.uk/files/original/The_Ronald_Garlick_Newport_Collection_of_Gibson_Wreck_Photographs/16225/RGN.104.tif 7fb3365b18cc138a9a65070791d89421 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Built for Furness, Withy & Company of West Hartlepool in 1893, the Plympton was 314ft in length and 2, 869 tons gross was declared a total loss, her value for insurance purposes being set at 16,000 with her cargo at an additional £25,000. Her arrival was not exactly unannounced, since she steamed headlong onto the rocks with her fog siren going full blast. An old gig, the Dolly Varden, was launched from Porth Cressa and after searching around Gugh and Wingletang area, found the Plympton with her boys hard and fast ashore, listing heavily to port. After her crew of 23 had been landed, the islanders set about the age-old practise of stripping the wreck. That afternoon, whilst work was still in progress, the flood tide gently lifted the steamer off the rocks and without warning she turned right over and sank, leaving only the bow section above water. Two local men, Charles Mumford of St. Marys and Charles Hicks of St. Agnes, were sucked down by the wrecked and drowned. Several others had lucky escapes: one in particular , a visitor to Scily named Ormrod, was actually inside the deckhouse when the steamer capsized. He went down with her but managed to escape through a porthole and reached the surface still clutching his trophy, the saloon stewards dinner bell. A remarkable coincidence occurred when in 1920, a German steamer Hathor, 7060 tons gross, sank right across the wreck of the Plympton on the base of the Lethegus Rock.

Wilce was en route from Swansea for St. Malo with coal. Constructed of wood in 1876, she was a sailing vessel, it was carrying a cargo of anthracite. On Tuesday 7th January at about 9.15pm during a heavy north-west gale, a vessel was seen running for the harbour, but on nearing the entrance, the vessel was driven ashore, first striking heavily on Penolva Point. At about 9.30 pm, the lifeboat James Steven was launched and proceeded to the distressed vessel, and after much difficulty succeeded in rescuing her crew, and in the teeth of the gale landed them safely in the harbour about 10.30pm.

The Isis capsized and drove ashore while trying to reach her, and the schooner's crew were rescued by breeches-buoy. The battered Susan Elizabeth launched at Dartmouth in 185 and owned by Balkwill & Co, was sold to Joshua Daniel, coal merchant of St. Ives, and for the next twenty-five years plied the colliers trade. On October 17 1907 a NNE gale caught her off the Mumbles and, sails in tatters, she reached St. Ive only to be tossed on to Portminster Beach. Captain John Curnow, who as a boy was wrecked on board the Schooner Jasper at St. Ives in December 1874, and his crew, were saved by the lifeboat. The Susan Elizabeth's hulk menaced the seine fishery until it was dynamited in October 1909, though not before a live turtle was found on board.
