'Baltic' Shipwrecked Mousehole Island, November 1st 1907.
subject: Shipwreck
description: The Sailing barge Baltic was bound for Newlyn from Medway with a cargo of cement for the harbour extension works. It wrecked on St. Clements Island on November 1st 1907. The Baltic got off course after rounding the Lizard. The night was so dark and thick that her plight was hidden from the shore, and nearly an hour went by before the flickering light of a paraffin soaked mattress burning on the foredeck was seen from the village of Mousehole.

Drew carried Mrs Langford, who was nearly hysterical, back to the crabber and William Harvey followed with her daughter in his arms. The others made their way after him and when all were safely aboard the White Lady the fishermen headed back for Mousehole. But by the time the tide was low and the task of getting back into the harbour was even…
