greypoppies:

25th April, 1936. ‘Herzogin Cecilie’ hits rocks in the fog at Salcombe in Devon. The windjammer, the largest sailing ship in the world, was famous as the winner of several grain races from Australia to England. As all hope of saving the ship was abandoned, the crew were rescued by the Salcombe Life Boat.

    I didn’t know that this had happened just south of Kingsbridge. Interesting, and sad.
