Description

The Belgian motor trawler Omer Denise went ashore on the opposite side of the Coverack Bay, at Perprean Cove. She was found next morning, stern first on the rocks, abandoned but with her engine still running. She broke up where she lay and her crew were later picked up adrift in a small boat off the Lizard.
