Belt of Beaumaris, beached at Mother Iveys Bay, Trevose Head, St Merryn, Cornwall. Probably 1906
The ketch Belt of Beaumaris beached at Mother Iveys Bay. Leaving St Agnes carrying nitrocake, she hit the pier, started to take in water, was deliberately run ashore at Mother Iveys Bay and wrecked here on 21st April 1906. It is thought that this photograph is probably of the wreck. Looking closely at the ship, it can be seen that the hatch covers have gone and there is no sign of the sails. This could point to the fact that, between the tides, she was able to be accessed to remove equipment etc. The Belt of Beaumaris (ON 939), 68 tons, was built in New Brunswick in 1847. Her master was Foulkes. Merope Rocks can be seen in the background. Photographer: Alexander Old
