A port bow view of the steam collier Llandaff (1865) aground under the cliffs of Nanjizal Bay [Mill Bay], Land's End, Cornwall. The bow is partially obscured by a pinnacle of rock that dominates the centre left of the image. A sailor, facing the camera, is standing on the turtle-back forecastle deck. The tide is low but still washing around the lower part of the hull. The photographer was standing on the cliffs on the northwest side of the bay, looking south east towards the headlands of Carn Les Boel [Cliff Castle] and, in the distance, Carn Barra.

The Llandaff, in ballast, was on passage from Sheerness to Cardiff when it went ashore in Mill Bay/Nanjizal Bay in thick weather. The crew were taken off and landed in Sennan Cove. The ship had a hole in the hull which filled with the tide [Royal Cornwall Gazette, 4 May 1899]. The ship was later refloated in May 1899 by the West of England Salvage Company and sold for £870.
