Andromeda, wrecked on Killygerran Head, February 13th 1915.
subject: Barque
subject: Shipwreck
subject: Wreck
description: The Andromeda was a 1,762-ton, four master barque that wrecked at Killygerran Head. She had been launched in 1890 by Duncans of Glasgow but in the later had been sold to Black & More of London. She had arrived off Falmouth 116 days out from Portland, Oregon, with 3,000 tons of wheat. But due to wartime regulations Captain Deeks was not allowed to come in without a pilot. Neither cutters nor tugs could reach him in the heavy south westerly gale, and the Andromeda dragged her anchors on to the rocks at four o'clock the next morning. An able seaman survived coming ashore on a capsized lifeboat, but an apprentice was lost overboard. Captain Deeks, his wife, her young sister, and the rest of the crew went up the rigging, where the captains little daughter perched asleep on the knees of a sailor until they were rescued by Portscatho rocket brigade at dawn. The Andromeda was auctioned for breaking up on March 3rd 1915 for a mere £170.

Ansgir, wrecked at Penzer Point, December 12th 1920
subject: Steamer
subject: Shipwreck
subject: Wreck
description: One of the largest ships to wreck on the Cornish Coast, the Ansgir, was one of many vessels of the German Merchant Marine. 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 an…
