of Penzance and the Isles of Scilly.

 

Thanks to Ian for this fine and interesting picture

Ian writes to ask anyone for help in details of this vessel

and the circumstances behind this picture.

Clearly, she has been beached after a storm,

with seaweed all around, and by the angle

of the sun, it appears it was to the south of

the harbour, towards Mousehole.

also

New Boy ( Number unknown )  From which one of his  ancestors, (Henry William Wilcox 2nd Hand) was swept overboard in a hurricane and drowned in 1899.

and

LT 676 – May have been called Captain Ellison.
