Title A name given to the resource Steamer Highland Fling on rocks near Cadgwith, 1907 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gibson Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1907-01-07 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Morrab library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Print Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context RGN.072 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Cadgwith, near Falmouth Subject The topic of the resource The Highland Fling, a large iron steamer of 4,088 tons, went ashore on the Criscan rocks, a little to the west of Cadgwith on January 7th 1907. In going ashore she almost ran down the tug Triton, missing her by less than 200 yards in the fog. She had left the Thames under the command of Captain Purvis on New Year's Day, bound for Buenos Aires with 3,000 tons of cement. An old vessel, launched in 1890 as the Morsayshire for the Scottish Clan Line, she was sold to the Ducal Line in 1998, when her name was changed to Duke of Portland. In 1906 she was finally sold to Messrs H W Nelson, who renamed her the Highland Fling. Soon after leaving the Thames, a serious leak developed beneath a boiler and she put in to Falmouth where a diver found a cracked plate. It was decided that she would go into dry-dock at Cardiff, so she sailed again in the thick fog on January 7th and within a very short time of leaving the harbour was hard and fast on the Criscan rocks. The crew lowered the boats and were about to abandon ship when the Triton appeared out of the fog and assured them they were in no danger. A towing hawser was transferred to the tug, but the steamer refused to budge: even the combined efforts of two more tugs could not refloat her. On January 8th, lighters arrived from Falmouth and her cement cargo was unloaded, but still the stranded ship could not be moved. The Western Marine Salvage Company then took over the task of salvage and, after the ship's crew had been sent ashore, the remaining cargo was jettisoned along with a number of deck fittings. That nigh the Highland Fling began to bump and grind as the weather deteriorated. The plates in No.2 hold gave way, the forepart of the ship flooded up to the engine and boiler room bulkhead, and she began to break in two. On January 12th, a final effort to tow her off failed, despite the efforts of four tugs and assistance from the ship's own engines. The decision was then made to separate the from portion of the ship from the as yet undamaged stern section. Dynamite charges were placed around the hull and within a week the job was so far advanced that only a single charge of explosives was needed to sever the keel plate and divide the Highland Fling into two sections. But the final charge was never fired: an easterly gale blew up during the night of January 19th, the sea parted the last iron plate and the stern portion drifted out to the sea. By daylight, the tugs Triton and Eagle had managed to secure hawsers to the floating section and after the bulkheads of the engine room had been shored up, they towed the half vessel to Falmouth. With the section becoming steadily deeper in the water and in imminent danger of sinking in Falmouth harbour, it was put on to a sand bank at high tide and lightened by unloading the coal from the bunkers. That same night, a north-westerly gale reduced the shattered bow section, still on the rocks of Cadgwith, to a pile of twists iron. A great deal of wreckage came ashore, the complete foremast finishing up at Parnvoose. At the Board of Trade enquiry it was discovered that the deviation card for the ship's compass had been left behind in London when she sailed. It was also established that she was travelling too fast in the fog, and Captain Purvis, held responsible for the loss, had his master's certificate suspended for six months. The salvaged rear section of the Highland Fling was eventually manoeuvred into dry-dock, but it proved too badly damaged to warrant the fitting of a new bow and was broken up for scrap metal.

Two days after she went ashore, a railway company steamer arrived alongside to disembark the passengers, luggage, and was followed later by every available lighter and coaster in the West Country. On March 20th, in calm conditions, unloading of the cargo into the smaller vessels began and was completed exactly one hour before the weather deteriorated on March 27th. Divers inspected the hull, but the Suevic was so badly damaged in the forepart that explosives were used to detach the bow section from the remainder. The after portion, containing all the valuable machinery, boilers, and passenger accommodation, then floated free and virtually undamaged, was towed to Southampton and dry docked. A new bow section was built at Belfast, then towed to Southampton where the two ends were malted and the Suevic was re-born to sail again. So confident of success were the owners that they advertised her next sailing for January 14th 1908, while the bow section was still on the stocks at Belfast. During the First World War the Suevic served as a troopship, and in 1929 she was sold to a Norwegian whaling company. Re-named the Skyttern, she survived as a whale factory ship until April 1st 1942 when her crew deliberately scuttled her in the Skagerrak rather than let her fall into German Hands.

Wilce was en route from Swansea for St. Malo with coal. Constructed of wood in 1876, she was a sailing vessel, it was carrying a cargo of anthracite. On Tuesday 7th January at about 9.15pm during a heavy north-west gale, a vessel was seen running for the harbour, but on nearing the entrance, the vessel was driven ashore, first striking heavily on Penolva Point. At about 9.30 pm, the lifeboat James Steven was launched and proceeded to the distressed vessel, and after much difficulty succeeded in rescuing her crew, and in the teeth of the gale landed them safely in the harbour about 10.30pm. Owing to the heavy swell, the lifeboat could not be housed until 2am. Part of a lamp recovered from the wreck of the Lizzie R. Wilce was sold at auction in 2002.

Built for Furness, Withy & Company of West Hartlepool in 1893, the Plympton was 314ft in length and 2, 869 tons gross was declared a total loss, her value for insurance purposes being set at 16,000 with her cargo at an additional £25,000. Her arrival was not exactly unannounced, since she steamed headlong onto the rocks with her fog siren going full blast. An old gig, the Dolly Varden, was launched from Porth Cressa and after searching around Gugh and Wingletang area, found the Plympton with her boys hard and fast ashore, listing heavily to port. After her crew of 23 had been landed, the islanders set about the age-old practise of stripping the wreck. That afternoon, whilst work was still in progress, the flood tide gently lifted the steamer off the rocks and without warning she turned right over and sank, leaving only the bow section above water. Two local men, Charles Mumford of St. Marys and Charles Hicks of St. Agnes, were sucked down by the wrecked and drowned. Several others had lucky escapes: one in particular , a visitor to Scily named Ormrod, was actually inside the deckhouse when the steamer capsized. He went down with her but managed to escape through a porthole and reached the surface still clutching his trophy, the saloon stewards dinner bell. A remarkable coincidence occurred when in 1920, a German steamer Hathor, 7060 tons gross, sank right across the wreck of the Plympton on the base of the Lethegus Rock.

Built for Furness, Withy & Company of West Hartlepool in 1893, the Plympton was 314ft in length and 2, 869 tons gross was declared a total loss, her value for insurance purposes being set at 16,000 with her cargo at an additional £25,000. Her arrival was not exactly unannounced, since she steamed headlong onto the rocks with her fog siren going full blast. An old gig, the Dolly Varden, was launched from Porth Cressa and after searching around Gugh and Wingletang area, found the Plympton with her boys hard and fast ashore, listing heavily to port. After her crew of 23 had been landed, the islanders set about the age-old practise of stripping the wreck. That afternoon, whilst work was still in progress, the flood tide gently lifted the steamer off the rocks and without warning she turned right over and sank, leaving only the bow section above water. Two local men, Charles Mumford of St. Marys and Charles Hicks of St. Agnes, were sucked down by the wrecked and drowned. Several others had lucky escapes: one in particular , a visitor to Scily named Ormrod, was actually inside the deckhouse when the steamer capsized. He went down with her but managed to escape through a porthole and reached the surface still clutching his trophy, the saloon stewards dinner bell. A remarkable coincidence occurred when in 1920, a German steamer Hathor, 7060 tons gross, sank right across the wreck of the Plympton on the base of the Lethegus Rock.
