Owned by Bois et Chabois of Lorient and bound for Barry with a cargo of pit wood. Launched in 1888 by W. Simon & Company of Renfrew. She had sailed from France thirty-six hours previously and encouraged foggy weather right from the start. It got worse, and shortly before midnight on the 13th the wind had fallen away and the fog became so thick that the lookouts could scarcely see beyond the bow. Around three o'clock there was a tremendous crash and her crew confronted by a tall Shape of the South America Vessel that had crashed in the bay in March. The Abertay began to pound and roll on the docks and they knew she was ashore. Dawn revealed an amazing sight. The Abertay lay so neatly placed alongside the South America that it looked as though they had been deliberately moored together. But beneath the swell it was a different story: the French steamer's forefoot and bilges were a crumpled mass of metal, the plates buckled and twisted apart. Her master, Biscayan of about forty suffered further misfortune on the day after the wreck when he slipped and fell over the ledge on the cliff and was rushed to Penzance with serious injuries. The Abertay was beyond salvage and was broken up for scrap along with the South America.

In 1896 she was sold to B. Wencke & Company of Hamburg and her new owners seemed able to bring out her finer sailing qualities. She left Hamburg for Port Talbot in late February 1911 and loaded coal brickets for Mejillones, on the west coast of South America. The weather was so bad that she took six weeks to round Cape Horn, and later was almost wrecked at Taltal. At Mejillones, she discharged and loaded nitrates and sails for Falmouth, arriving on February 1st 1912. As an example of German Discipline, the first mate ordered four men aloft to scrape and varnish the main royal yard as she entered harbour, despite the fact that it was snowy hard. She lay at Falmouth until February 10th, when she left for Hamburg to discharge in tow of the German tug Ancona. But they had hardly got out into Falmouth bay than the strong southeasterly wind refreshed and backed. Both ships were gradually forced backwards down the coast, and despite all the tugs efforts at 9 pm the Pindos was carried broadside on to Chynhalls Point, less than half a mile from Coverack Village. The tug captain held her head to sea for some time to stop her broaching, but was eventually force to slip the hawser. Meanwhile the Coverack lifeboat had putt off, and aided by the glare of newly provided acetylene searchlights, rescued the Germans by breeches-buoy from the waveswept and listing poop deck. On February 20th, the Pindos, together with her gear and stores, was sold for £225, but later gales soon reduced her to pieces. Over the years salvage has been carried out, but parts of her masts, rigging, plates and keel still lie on the seaward side of the Chynhalls.

She had been towed into Falmouth early the same day by the German tug Seefalke, having sheared the bolts of her rudder quadrant in a gale of Ushant whilst bound from Bilboa to Newport with Iron ore. After hurried repairs, she sailed the same day for Wales and two hours later was aground on the point, only sixty yards offshore, flooded fore and aft. Salvage started immediately and nearly 100 labourers were employed to remove the cargo. But she was never refloated, and eventually the owners, Messrs Constants of Cardiff, asked the Western Marine Company to break her up for scrap. At Lowland Point, there is still a huge propeller on the rocks, said to have come from her. The Ocklinge was the second steamer of Constant's lost off Cornwall, the Lyminge having been wrecked at Gurnard's Head on September 19th 1931. At the Board of Trade enquiry into the loss of the Ocklinge, Captain Driscoll, found guilty of making false declarations and forging documents, received a six-month prison sentence as well as having his certificate suspended for twelve months.

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. The coastguards sent word to the lifeboat station at Newlyn, while six Mousehole fishermen decided to make a rescue bid of their own. They manned the crabber, White Lady, but as the harbour mouth was close by the large timber baulks which kept out the rough seas in the winter, they had to manhadle her over the pier and down into the sea outside. Big waves were dashing against the expose harbour wall, making is a hard struggle to row the crabber clear of the rocsk and shallow water. At last it was accomplished and the fishermen pulled towards the glimmer of foam which distinguished the dark mass of the island from the darkness around. The tide was ebbing fast and jagged ledges and rocks were coming awash: it took five attempts to find a landing place for the White Lady. The fisherman Stanley Drew leaped on to the rocks with the Mousehole pierhead light in one hand and managed to scramble across to where the shipwrecked peoople were huddled.  Headed by a young Irish Sailor, Adam Torrie, who had risked his life to get on to the island over the Baltics Bowspirit, Captain Langford, his wife, and daughter, and mate George Baines had abandoned the barge for the slightly better safety of the rocks.  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 more difficult, and the women had to be hauled to the top of the wall by ropes tied under their arms. The Baltic soon became a total wreck, but the bravery of the six fishermen did not go unrewarded: Stanely Drew, William H. Harvey, Luther Harvey, Charles Harry, Richard Harrym and Richard Thomas recieved a cash award from the RNLI, as well as a silver medal which a Birmingham buisnessman had especially struck to commemorate their action. Adam Torrie, the Irish sailor, settled in Mousehole and married the harbourmaster's daughter, and today his descendants live in the village.  Descripton from Richard Larn and Clive Carter, Cornish Shipwrecks: The South Coast (Newton Abbot: David & Charles, 1971), p. 194-195. 1891-1910 Seafaring and shipping Wrecks https://photoarchive.morrablibrary.org.uk/files/original/Richards_Collection/12183/WRECKS_32OF_268.tif df5164a822b4bc629e6b721ea4003684 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Subject The topic of the resource sinking Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1937 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Mousehole Description An account of the resource The Belgian Motor trawler, Vierge Marie of Ostend was a 200 ton vessel. She was on her way into Newlyn after developing engine trouble off Pendeen the previous afternoon, and there had been no warning of how close the weather had brought her to the Lamorna Cliffs until she struck on January 13th 1937. Captain Josef Lus radioed an 'SOS' but the ground swell was so bad that he had to give the order to abandon ship without waiting for rescue. As the dinghy was launched a wave overturned it: the captain and mate jumped into the sea, but engineer Hessene and deckhands Easton and Miel righted the dinghy and pulled clear, only to capsize on the point of being rescued by Penlee Lifeboat. The trawler's young cabin boy, Valentine Maartens, was missing, presumed swept overboard and drowned. The Vierge Marie rolled over to starboard a few hours after going ashore and within a day was jumbled mass of broken plating and fittings jammed beneath the cliffs at Tater Du. A farm labourer who lived near Carn Boscawen stepped from his cottage door shortly before dawn and was greeted by the thick, pungent reek of fuel oil wafting in from the sea. Buttoning his heavy waterproofs against the driving wind and rain, he picked his way across the fields and soon made out the lights of the Vierge Marie, ashore in a narrow cove just beyond Tater Du point. When he heard the shouts of the crew he wasted no time in getting to the farm where he worked, so that the news could be telephoned to Penzance. He then returned to the wreck with more men and ropes, only to see a small boat, manned by three men, capsize as the Penlee Lifeboat closed in to rescue them. They were buoyed up their lifejackets, but even so were in a bad way when they were hauled out. Artificial respiration was kept up on all three as the lifeboat sped back to Newlyn, but they died before they reached hospital. As the light grew, the men on the cliffs could see no sign of life as the trawler rolled and slewed with every wave that broke into the small cove. Unknown to them, the farm labourer's wife had been roused by a loud knocking an hour after her husband had left, and, thinking he had returned, she opened the door to be confronted by a drenched and battered stranger. In fluent English, he told her he was Captain Josef Lus and that his ship had been wrecked nearby. While the women heated kettles and fetched blankets, he staggered off into the fog again, to return ten minutes later supporting his chief mat, Gustave Vanlee, who's legs were so badly cut that he could hardly stand.
