Description
Close to the tip of Land's End lie the Pearl Rocks, just awash, and here on September 28th 1921, the Swansea steamer Lambaness, bound for Barry to St Malo with coal steamed right over the reef in thick hazy wether.
She sank until only her masts and funnel stood above the water; her crew survived but the fifteen- year old Lambaness did not last long in such an exposed position.
Description from Richard Larn and Clive Carter, Cornish Shipwrecks: The South Coast (Newton Abbot: David & Charles, 1921),p.237.
