Two cattle lashed by their horns to the starboard side of the Isles of Scilly-registered auxilary fishing lugger SC 41, having been salvaged from the grounded passenger/cargo liner Minnehaha (1900). There are a number of other fishing vessels and rowing gigs in the background off the shore of Samson Island where the cattle released after being rescued. The starboard bow of a white painted clinker-built lugger is moored in the shallow waters off the starboard side of SC 41.

The Minnehaha ran aground on 18 April 1910 in fog on passage from New York to Tilbury. The 66 passengers, all First Class, and 171 crew were rescued and landed on Byrher, and about 200 of the 243 steers (castrated young bulls) were landed on Samson Island. The mixed cargo from Holds 2 and 3 were jettisoned, including crated new motor cars, grand pianos, machinery, sewing machines, carpets and other cargo going over the side to lighten the ship. Between 20 April and 11 May the ship was prepared for refloating (using compressed air to float it), and eventually came off the ledge. Minnehaha then proceeded under its own power to Crow Sound before continuing under escort to Falmouth.
