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.

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.
