Description
The 100-ton steamer, Normande of Bayonne that was going from Nantes to Fowey in ballast went ashore on April 2nd 1914.
It was very foggy at the time, but the crew managed to scramble ashore, to be found the next morning by a Mr Martin, a local farmer. The Normade was abandoned in the shallows with a broken back, and to this day, her boiler can still be seen in the shallows.
