Le Jeune Emma - EXPLORED 16/10/2021
When the vessel Le Jeune Emma, which was originally headed toward Le Havre, and carrying rum sugar and coffee, took the wrong turn at Land’s End en route, it would prove costly, as the ship eventually came to an untimely end on the sandbars of Cefn Sidan in 1828. Looted for its riches, the work of the feared Wreckers was once again at hand here, where 13 people were said to have drowned. One of those included Adeline Coquelin, the 12-year-old niece by marriage to Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, her mother being sister to Josephine.
