"Resurrection" - Sennen, Cornwall
Technically at Gamper bay between Sennen and Land's End, this is the wreck of RMS Mulheim, which ran aground on 22nd March 2003, losing its cargo of plastic. The circumstances of the loss are a little unusual to say the least!
From Wikepedia:
"On investigation, it was discovered that the chief officer—who had been on watch at the time—had caught his trousers in the lever of his chair when trying to get up, causing him to fall and rendering him unconscious. By the time he regained consciousness, RMS Mülheim was already bearing down on the shoreline."
Watch your step! I felt it looked like the huge waves of storm Ophelia had resurrected the old Wreck to get her to sail once more. Quite a spectacle from the cliffs.
