Shipwreck
Description
The Yewcroft was registered in Glasgow and went aground at Cudden Point on 8 July 1956. St Michael's Mount is in the background.
The 827-ton steam coaster, Yewcroft, bound from the Thames to Bristol with cement, wandered off course in dense fog and grounded near Cudden Point. A few hours later, as the tide ebbed from beneath her, she broke in half.
Description from Richard Larn and Clive Carter, Cornish Shipwrecks: The South Coast (Newton Abbot: David & Charles, 1971), p184.
