The vessel was built in 1868, owned by John Hargrove of Chapel Street, Liverpool. The barque was then to run ashore on rocks at Annet, Isles of Scilly. Her crew hastily abandoned ship when the stern went completely underwater, but rebounded later to collect personal belongings and some of the ships fittings. The cause of the wreck was investigated by the Board of Trade. Master, George West, blamed his chronometer for any inaccuracy of navigation , his calculations and log-book entries showing his position as being at least ten or fifteen miles west of the Bishop Light. The wreck was sold for £55 and her figurehead can be seen in the Valhalla collection of ships' figureheads at Tesco, Isles of Scilly.

On October 22nd 1707, Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell, and some 2,000 officers and men of the Royal Navy met their deaths when H.M.S Association, Eagle, Romney, and Firebrand all struck the same area and went down. The Association and the Firebrand were lost on the Gilstone, the Romney sinking on the Crebinicks and the Eagle on the Crims. Returning to Portsmouth after a successful campaign in the Mediterranean, these ships were part of a fleet of twenty-one vessels, half of which were of seventy guns or more. They left Gibraltar on October 1st 1707, but a week later, after encountering gales from all points of the compass, they were hopelessly lost. So much so that the admiral called a meeting of the sailing-masters in order to hear their various opinions as to the fleet's position. Between them, it was generally agreed that the ships lay at the mouth of the English Channel, well south of the Scillies and due west of Ushant. Only one voice, that of Sir William Jumper, H.M.S Lennox, was raised in protest. He insisted that in three hours they would sight Scilly, but a majority decision was accepted and the fleet sailed on, only now the flagship Association was in the van, the lead ships La Valeur, Lennox, and Phoenix having been despatched to Falmouth for convoy duties. The great ships lumbered on, all unaware of the dangers that lay ahead. At 8 o'clock on the evening of the 22nd October, the flagship plunged straight on to the Gilstone Ledges and sank almost immediately with the greater part of her crew. She was followed closely by the others, and in quick succession the Eagle, Romney, and Firebrand all struck and went under. Of the 2,000 men aboard the wrecked ships, only twenty-six were reported as surviving. There may, in fact, have been others, since the majority of men in service were 'pressed' and would probably have seized such a heaven-sent opportunity to desert, although the advantages of desertion on eighteenth-century Scilly are doubtful and hanging would have been the punishment if they were caught. The body of Sir Cloudesley was founded washed ashore at Porth Hellick, a sandy bay on the south side of St. Marys, about seven miles from the scene of the wrecks. He was said to have been alive when found, and murdered for his valuable rings he wore, his hands being mutilated in order to remove the jewellery, after which the naked body was buried on the foreshore. Later, he was exhumed, identified, and taken to Westminster where Queen Anne ordered a state funeral.

Account of Wreck from Cornishman Newspaper, December 9th 1911 "Watched by hundreds of spectators, the Norwegian Barque Saluto was driven ashore close to St. Michael’s Mount on Wednesday morning, and it is likely to become a total wreck. In the teeth of one of the worst gales for a quarter of a century, the crew of thirteen all told were taken off by the Newlyn Lifeboat Elizabeth and Blanche and safely landed at that port amid scenes of great enthusiasm. The Saluto is an iron Barque and hails from Christiansund. She was commanded by Captain Olsen, and carried a crew of thirteen. She was bound from London to the West Indies in ballast. She left the Thames on November 23rd, but experienced bad weather. On Friday last, when in the Bay of Biscay, the vessel sprang a leak and matters rapidly worked towards a crisis. The water mixed with the ballast and thus choked the pumps. The leak was discovered forward on the starboard side, but despite all the efforts of the crew- who tried to plug it with a sail, white lead etc.- it was found impossible to stop it and with the pumps choked, the water rapidly rose in the hold. With the weather continuing bad, the captain recognised the danger of proceeding on his voyage and on Monday he determined to make for Falmouth. Under light sail the Saluto was in the vicinity of the Lizard on Tuesday night, but the wind then increased in velocity and it was found impossible to round the headland. The wind also changed its direction, and the Saluto was driven towards the centre of the Bay. The crew could do nothing more. The signal of distress was hoisted, and they waited patiently for help from the shore. It was in this state that the Barque was observed from Mousehole at about 9.30 on Wednesday morning. The intelligence was immediately sent to Newlyn and at 9.45 the lifeboat crew was summoned by rocket. With commendable foresight the Elizabeth and Blanche had been kept afloat, and in a few minutes Coxswain T.E.Vingoe and his crew were proceeding out of the Harbour to the rescue of the doomed ship. Some three or four of the lifeboat’s regular crew were away from Newlyn on fishing duty, but there was no difficulty in obtaining volunteers. The report of the rocket attracted to the harbour and to the sea front at Penzance a big crowd of interested spectators, who watched with intense excitement the subsequent proceedings. At the time the lifeboat left the harbour one of the fiercest gales on record in the Bay was raging from the S.W., and huge seas were running. The distressed vessel was three or four miles to the South-Eastward of Mousehole, and was rapidly drifting in the direction of Cudden. Under sails the lifeboat put out, her progress being followed with no little anxiety. At one moment she would be sent to the crest of a big wave, and the next she would be lost from view in the trough of the sea. There was no faltering and steadily and quickly she reduced the distance between herself and the Barque. Those on board the latter had observed the lifeboat’s approach, and had let go both anchors, but so violent was the gale and so great the seas that one of her cables snapped and the remaining anchor failed to hold the vessel. What actually was happening when the lifeboat had drawn alongside the Barque could not be followed by those on shore, as the vessel had reached within a couple of miles of Cudden, and vision was also obstructed by the heavy rain squalls which frequently swept over the Bay, blotting out even the Barque itself. After the lapse of a short time, however, the lifeboat was seen coming away from the Barque, and as she neared the land it was seen that her human freight had been considerably augmented. Sailing splendidly she quickly reached Newlyn where a tremendous ovation was accorded her plucky crew. The sirens of all the steam craft gave vent to a triumphant peon, and the throngs on the wharfs waved their hats and shouted enthusiastically. And let it be said the plucky lifeboat- men deserved the praise which was bestowed upon them, for on all hands it is admitted it was one of the smartest rescues ever effected in the Bay. So smartly had the whole affair been carried out that not more than an hour and a half had elapsed from the time the lifeboat left the harbour till the return with the whole of the crew of thirteen of the Saluto." 1911-1930 Seafaring and shipping Wrecks https://photoarchive.morrablibrary.org.uk/files/original/Collins_Shipwreck_Collection/13170/COLLINS.173.tif 64963f3a02b7ea49bce84db37b786bde Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She and others like her were known as 'Bounty Clippers', owing their handsome looks to the French navigation bounties, a subsidy which enabled owners to sacrifice capacity for fine lines, instead of settling for the 'wall-siders' and 'bald-headers' of their British counterparts. The Seine was a particularly smart ship, sporting whit masts and yards and the traditional painted ports, with a long forecastle and poop deck. On December 27th 1900, eighty-one days from Iquique to Falmouth for orders with nitrate, the Seine encountered a WNW gale of Scilly. By midnight, Captain Guimper had abandoned all hopes of making port, and at 10:00am, the Seine, under reefed fore-topsails, was sighted from St Agnes Head. The Perranporth and St Agnes rocket brigades were assembled when, early in the afternoon, the big clipper ran in the north of Chapel Rock, and they spliced both their hawsers into a single long one to reach her. Six sailors and a delirious cabin boy were landed before the Seine, gave and an extra violent roll that broke the hawser. Six Newqay youths waded out under her bows, a line was flung down to them, and another five men slid to safety. Captain Guimper was the last to leave the doomed to the breakers, a gutted steel shell which broke up on the next flood tide. A fortnight late the wreck of this once beautiful clipper was sold to Newquay sea captain for a mere £42.

Her last voyage began at Cardiff on November 16th 1893, when she sailed for Port Said with a crew of twenty-five and a cargo of coal. Bad weather was encountered the following day when off Hartland Point, and by dawn on the 18th the Serica was in trouble when the storm ripped the tarpaulin covers from off Nos 3 and 4 holds, flooded the main cabin and swept away everything that was moveable abaft the bridge. Her captain, Sydney Smith, had a remarkable escape in that he was washed clean overboard twice, and twice was flung back aboard by the sea. The Serica eventually reached Scilly on the 19th in a very distressed condition with pumps choked, serious damage on deck, and a heavy list. A local Receiver of the Wreck stated that "the only wonder is that the vessel kept afloat." On November 24th, the Serica left St. Marys at low water to continue her voyage, but struck a rock and had to be run ashore 150 yards north-north west of Woolpack Beacon. She was abandoned almost immediately and only minor salvage was ever carried out on the wreck, all work ceasing on January 3rd 1894. The rock the Serica struck was in fact, marked at lying in eight fathoms but was later found to be in less than twenty-four feet. It is doubtful if it was any consolation to her owners, but tat rock was given the name of the ship and today is marked on all charts as the Serica Rock.

Subject The topic of the resource Shipwreck Wreck Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Morrab Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1980 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Port Quinn, Cornwall Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Print Description An account of the resource On Saturday December 15th 1979, HM Coastguard informed Padstow Lifeboat Station that the Skopelos Sky, a 2800 Greek freighter was in trouble off Trevose Head. She was on route from Garston for Algiers with a cargo of drums of lubricating oil. The wind had been blowing up to violent storm, force 11, from a generally westerly direction since the previous day and by 06.00hrs had reached force 14 on the anemometer at RAF St Mawgan. Widespread damage had been caused all over Cornwall. It was now north west storm, force 10, gusting to hurricane, force 12, with rain squalls, and the tide was in the second hour of flood. The seas were by far the worst any of the Padstow Lifeboat crew had ever contemplated. By the time the Padstow Lifeboat, the James and Catherine MacFarlane, reached the Skopelos Sky she was just over a mile offshore of Port Quin. Initially no contact could be made with the crew of the striken vessel and Helicopter Rescue 69 was called to assist. Eventually radio contact was made and the master advised that he was unable to anchor as it was too rough to send a man on to the fo'c'sle. It was agreed that the helicopter would try to lift off some of the crew but after three men had been lifted off, the helicopter's winchman hit the freighter's superstructure three times and the pilot suggested the Lifeboat go in for the remaining men. The survivors were gathered aft, but the height of decks was such that it depended on the arrival of the right sea at the appropriate moment to carry the lifeboat high enough to get the men off. Coxswain England used all his very considerable boat-handing skill and the full power of his engines. Even so the Lifeboat's forward fairlead was badly damaged when Skopelos Sky rolled heavily on to the lifeboat. After five alongside attempts, during which one man threw his suitcase down on to the lifeboat, the freighter's crew waved the Lifeboat away indicating that they would only abandon ship by helicopter. Throughout the five attempts to get alongside, Second Coxswain Tummon and his deck party were on the foredeck of the lifeboat ready to receive the survivors. Coxswain England concluded that rescue by lifeboat was impossible, except perhaps from the sea itself, and he asked the helicopter to try again. The lifeboat then stood by the casualty's stern while seven more men were lifted off. It was just after 11 .OOhrs and the 'on scene commander' asked the Lifeboat to remain standing by until further notice. Skopelos Sky now began steaming east-west in a figure-of-eight pattern across Port Quin Bay still with her starboard list due to the shift of cargo. By 14.00 hrs the wind was still gusting to force 12 and the state of the sea in the bay was awesome. Close inshore nothing could survive. People watching from the cliffs, 200 ft high at Doyden Point, were losing sight of the lifeboat completely for many seconds at a time although she was no more than a quarter of a mile off shore. Coxswain England afterwards said he felt like 'an insect in a ploughed field'. The lifeboat kept constant station on the casualty's quarter, taking every possible advantage of whatever lee the freighter herself afforded but being dangerously exposed every time Skopelos Sky reversed her course; then it was only the most skilful handling by the Coxswain in meeting the worst of the waves which was preventing a capsize. Arrangements were being made for Clovelly's 71 ft Clyde class Lifeboat City of Bristol to take over from Padstow Lifeboat at dusk with Padstow relieving again in the morning. However she had to be diverted to answer another call and Coxswain England said he would be willing to remain with Skopelos Sky all night if necessary. By 1500 it was apparent that it would be dark before long and helicopter rescue might be impossible. Coxswain England advised the master of the casualty to steam to seaward and drop both anchors and all the cable he had in an attempt to save the ship, but the master was unwilling to take this action because of the heavy seas being shipped over the fo'c'sle. In the next hour the lifeboat relayed three messages from the Coastguard to the master of Skopelos Sky advising helicopter lift, and eventually the helicopter Rescue 21 asked the Lifeboat to inform the casualty that he would now fly over and that the remaining crew should come off now. The master said he would head into wind to drop anchor and asked the Lifeboat to stand close by while he sent a man forward to let go anchor in case the man should be washed overboard. The Lifeboat came in as close as possible to the freighter's side and the anchor was dropped. However, not enough cable was veered and it simply hung up and down. Rescue 21 lifted off three more men before it was dark. The master and one oiler were still on board and they shut down Skopelos Sky's engines and switched off all her lights as she lay bows south west and began drifting in with the lifeboat still between her and the shore. The people on the cliffs lost sight of the Lifeboat as she disappeared under the headland over which spray was still flying. Rescue 21 had departed and a Sea King, Rescue 90, using her searchlight, lifted the remaining men from the ship as she grounded below Doyden Point at 17.23hrs. Secondslater the entire freighter was obliterated in spray as she was hit by an enormous breaker. As the spray cleared, what had been a list to starboard had been transformed into a 45 degree list to port, hard among the rocks. With the tide now at half ebb, it would be eight hours before the Lifeboat could enter Padstow. The crew were already suffering from their long ordeal with the sea and so Coxswain England decided to try to rehouse. There was a certain amount of shelter from the north west at the foot of the slip and the wind had moderated slightly by the time the lifeboat arrived, but there was still a heavy run on the boathouse slipway. Coxswain England found the keelway on his first attempt but the Lifeboat ranged 30 feet up and down the slipway and the haul-up span was damaged by the keel. The Lifeboat was then held clear on her engines and breasting ropes for 30 minutes while the spare span was fitted and the winch wire re-flaked by the launchers who were at times being submerged up to their necks. Coxswain England put the Lifeboat back on the slipway, again at the first attempt, and though ranging and thumping very hard she was hauled clear. No damage had been sustained except that to her bow when alongside the casualty and she was reported ready for service again at 20.OOhrs. For this service a bar to his silver medal was awarded to Coxswain Trevor England and the thanks of the Institution inscribed on vellum were accorded to Second Coxswain/ Assistant Mechanic Richard Tummon, Motor Mechanic Horace Murt, Emergency Mechanics Arthur May and Peter Poole and Crew Members Sidney Porter, Alan Tarby and Edward Hicks. The thanks of the Institution inscribed on vellum were also accorded to each and Shore Helpers Ian Macer, Timothy Lloyd, Ian Kendall, Stewart Porter and Frederick Norfolk. Of the slipway helpers: Head Launcher Patrick Rabey, Shore Attendant John Thomas, Assistant Winchman William Tucker. A vellum service certificate was presented to Winchman Ernest Bennett.
