Wreck
Found this old un...does anyone know what where and when of this wreck..there are
no details to identify it..
 
It would help to know the date (1920?) of this unfortunate ship and its place of grounding, it appears to be a barque, unnamed, on the Cressars, but with no background to identify the exact posiition?
 
This is the Glenbervie, near Coverack in 1902. She was employed as a Tea clipper, later as a codfish trader and timber trader from the St Lawrence Seaway. On this voyage she had left the Thames, for West Africa with general cargo. In bad weather she struck Lowland Point. Her cargo was salvaged but she eventually broke. This photograph by Gibsons?
 
@Treeve..many thanks,info noted.....the picture was otherwise unmarked as to
information or photograher.
 
800 tons - 16 people saved by the Constance Melanie, the lifeboat being not able to approach closer than 50 feet because a raging seas, eventually a rope is cast and the men were pulled to safety. 19th December 1902 she left London for Alcoa Bay. It was such bad weather that neither St Anthony Light nor Lizard were sighted.
