A port bow view of the passenger excursion steamer Lady of the Isles (1875). The ship is listing to port resulting in the port bulwarks being under water from before the bridge to the stern. The photographer was on the beach looking out from Lamorna Cove towards Carn Du in the distance on the left.

The passenger excursion steamer Lady of the Isles (1875) hit a sunken ledge off Carn Du before being beached in Lamorna Cove. The ship was salvaged by the Little Western Salvage Company who later purchased and fitted her out as a salvage steamer, operating in that capacity for the next thirty years.
