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.

Owned by Vinnens of Bremen, she was one of five steel, five-masted auxiliary schooners built by Krupps of Kiel between 1922-23. Of over 2,000 tons gross tonnage, the Adolf Vinnen was fitted with a diesel engine originally destined for U- Boats and carried the peculiar sail plan known as 'jackass rig.' She left the builders on February 1st 1923 for Brunsbuttel, via the Kiel Canal, where final fitting-out took place. On February 9th she sailed on her maiden voyage, in ballast for Barry to load coal. Her master, Captain Muller, had also commanded an earlier Adolf Vinnen, a 3,000-ton barque which had been requisitioned Mae Dollar. As the Adolf Vinnen left the North Sea and entered the Channel, she ran into strong headwinds. These increased and veered SSW so that when the Lizard was sighted on February 23rd she was dangerously close to the land. Failing to work clear, she drove ashore at 17:30 pm only seventy yards off Bass Point and very close to the wreck of the Mosel, lost in 1882. As crowd of spectators had gathered long before she struck and the new motor lifeboat Frederick H. Pilley was being launched even as the big schooner hit the rocks. Seventeen of her crew were saved by breeches-buoy but Captain Muller, his officers and the steward decided to remain on board. During the night, heavy seas swept the wreck from end to end and they were almost swept from the rigging. The seas was so rough that the Lizard lifeboat, unable to approach Polpeor station, had to make for the shelter of Falmouth. Next day, the captain and his comrades were rescued by breeches-buoy and the ship left to the mercies of sea. By March 16th, all four topmasts had collapsed and were followed shortly after the mainmasts. The wreck remains near Bass Point, but is often completely engulfed in sand and only uncovers at infrequent intervals.

She had been launched in July 1923 by the Richardson Dock Company of Stockton as the Randor, for the Cardigan Shipping Company, and was a steel screw steamer, engined by Blair & Co, 412.7 ft long, 52 ft in beam and with a draft of 24.3 ft. She subsequently became the Welsh-owned Treharris, before being sold to Alfredo Laura of Naples early in 1937. She left Liverpool at noon on June 29 1937, bound for Hull to complete discharge of her cargo of cotton seed, linseed, and peanuts from West Africa. On the following night, off Godrevy, fine weather gave way to thick fog and at 01:00 am on July 1st she struck below Kenidjack Castle, in the same place as Malta. Fifteen of the crew, accompanied by the ship's cat, rowed themselves ashore. Forty-eights hours later the Aida Laura parted forward of the bridge, and in a week had gone. Today her boilers still stand out of the water at low tide below Kenidjack Castle. Description from Clive Carter, Cornish Shipwrecks: The North Coast (London: Penn Books LTD, 1970), p.26-27.

Five men were landed by breeches-buoy, and the other four by the Isis at the coast of seven oars smashed and two crews exhausted. By daylight the Albert Wilhelm, lay deeply embedded, good for little except firewood. The bewildered Germans slept on the dunes and some sat forlornly on heaps of wreckage watching the coastguard at work; during the afternoon they were interested spectators when the 218-ton Glasgow collier Excelsior, Garston for Portreath with coal, ran for Hayle and stranded only 200 yards from the wrecked brig.

Lynch of Portland, New Brunswick, as a wooden full-rigger of 1,589 tons. Towards the end of her career she was bought by Liverpool shipowner G. Windon, who cut her down to a barque. On September 17th 1896, laden with deals and pitchpine from Sable, Savannah, she received orders from a pilot-boat off Port Lynas to discharge at Devonport dockyard. Three days later she broke away from the tug Gamecock in a gale in SSW gale suddenly increased again, driving the Alexander Yeats back to the northward of Godrevy. The storm eased towards dawn, but the deck cargo had now shifted and the ship had developed a bad list to port. Throughout the day Portreath coastguards kept a vigilant watch on her attempts to wear off the land, and at dusk, as she wallowed past under small sail, they alerted Hayle lifeboat. But both she and the St. Ives lifeboat failed to reach the crippled ship, which, just before midnight, struck heavily in high seas under Gurnard's Head. Nineteen sailors, Irish, British, and Swedish were landed by breeches-buoy though not before a near-disaster when the landward anchor of the hawser came adrift. Apart from a broken forestopmast, the Alexander Yeats was not badly damaged, and by January 1897 a squad of traction engines, the first seen in the district, were hauling her pitchpine cargo to Penzance.

Completed a dew weeks after the Armistice of 1918, she was created by A K Ges Neptune of Rostock, on the Baltic. She was a large, single funnelled, two masted steamer of 6,483 tons gross, 4,068 tons net, with a deadweight capacity of around 9, 500 tons. She measured 438.5ft in length, 57.1st in beam and 28.1 ft in depth, and her single screw was driven by a four cylinder diesel engine of 476 nhp. At the end of the war, she was taken over by the Ministry of Shipping, who placed her under the management of Gow, Harrison & Company of Glasgow. Her German crew brought her over to Leith Roads where, on August 12th 1920, the Ansgir hoisted the 'red duster'. Captain James D Gemmel took command of her and she went out to Hampton Roads, Virginia, where she loaded coal for Rotterdam. This safely delivered her next port of call was Dartmouth and here on September 29th 1920 her crew were paid off. As customary, they all signed on afresh next day, and the Ansgir crossed the Atlantic again and at Baltimore took on coal for La Pallice. On arrival at the French port, Captain Gemmel was informed that the Ansgir had been awarded to the Japanese as part of their war reparations and he was ordered to proceed to Barry and take on bunkers for the voyage to Japan. On the morning of December 12th 1920 the Ansgir sailed from La Pallice in water ballast for Barry. The weather was hazy, with a blustery south-west wind which promised to freshen strongly before nightfall. Ushant was sighted at two o'clock in the afternoon and an hour later Captain Gemmel set course for the Wolf Rock light. The wind increased to a hard quartering gale towards dusk and visibility was seriously impaired by heavy rain and patches of foggy drizzle. At 8pm the third mate joined Captain Gemmel on the bridge for the eight twelve watch and both men and the lookouts kept constant watch for the Wolf and the Longships lights. The steamer rolled on through the heavy seas, gradually getting closer to the Cornish Coast, but by eleven o'clock no lights had been sighted. Half an hour later, the captain decided to put about, but hardly had the order been given to turn to port than the watch below were hurled from their bunks as the Ansgir struck the rocks a few hundred yards west of the coastguard lookout on Penzer Point, near Mousehole. Captain Gemmel rang down for hard astern, but the steamer was driven broadside to the cliffs within minutes, the waves breaking over her as high as her funnel. She rolled so violently that it seemed as if she would turn right over, and the boats could not be launched. A long wooden hold ladder was put over the side and down it went 19-year-old Geoffrey Davis, an apprentice from Birmingham, clad in lifejacket and with a rope about his waist. Two more volunteers followed him and hung on to the line while he jumped clear of the side and struck out for the rocks. Waiting for him were three Mousehole fishermen who had been tending their boats in the harbour when, seeing the steamers lights heading towards Penzer Point, they had raised the alarm in the village and then run all the way up the steep Raginnis Hill and along the clifftop lane to the scene of the wreck. The Mousehole men had a hard struggle to haul him out and one nearly swept into the sea, but they managed to regain the rocks and pull Geoffrey Davis in with them. More men arrived from the village and the line the apprentice had brought ashore was used to haul in a stouter rope, one end of which was secured to Ansgirs poop and the other looped around a pinnacle of granite. The the crew started to come ashore one by one, handing themselves along the line. Meanwhile the Mousehole LSA company had left their rocket-cart by the coastguard lookout and were manhandling their apparatus down the cliffs. They reached the rocks to find that twenty of the crew had already come ashore along the line and soon rescued the remaining twenty-five by means of a quickly rigged line for the their breeches buoy. Dawn found the Answer still broadside on to the cliffs, listing heavily to port, with her bows facing Lamorna. She was badly damaged and in spite of the being almost new had to be sold for scrap, and was broken up by the Western Marine Salvage Company of Penzance. In April 1921, she took a severe pounding from a westerly gale, but it was not until the late winter of that year that the Ansgir finally vanished from below the Penzer cliffs. It is still possible to find her plates and steel work jammed in the rocks below the point, and diligent search at low water can produce the occasional memento of one of the largest steamers ever wrecked between Penzance and Land's end.

It wrecked on St. Clements Island on November 1st 1907. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Descripton from Richard Larn and Clive Carter, Cornish Shipwrecks: The South Coast (Newton Abbot: David &amp; Charles, 1971), p. 194-195. 1891-1910 Seafaring and shipping shipwreck
