A distant starboard bow view of the frames of an unidentified wooden sailing vessel on Long Rock Beach, Penzance. Marazion is on the left and St Michael's Mount can be seen in the distance on the right. The hull of the ship has been stripped of its hull and deck planking and the deck beams. The midship frames have also been removed to the lower frames, leaving the bow and stern/transom areas mostly still in place. Two men are picking up a frame from the beach off the port side of the ship, being watched by two other men. Four boys are standing by the open frames on the starboard side, with a fifth kneeling close to the bow. The photographer was standing at the top of the beach looking southeast across to the waves breaking on the beach in the middle distance.

There has been a suggestion that this is the wreck of the Petrellen, but there is no evidence either way at present. It is certainly not the Jeune Hortense (1858), as the brigantine was recovered and eventually broken up elsewhere. See G14337 for a closer view of the wreck.
