On this #day 110 years ago; 23rd May 1913; the #British built three mast iron #sailing #barque, the SV #Cromdale, ran aground off the #Lizard Point (the most southerly point of British mainland) in thick #fog. The #ship was on a #voyage from #Taltal, #Chile to #Fowey, #Cornwall with a cargo of #nitrates. There were no casualties but within a week the #ship had been broken up completely by the sea.
