A view, fine off port bow view of the wrecked hull of the two-masted wooden schooner Argo (1864), lying over to port on the rocky beach on the southwest side of Tean Island, Isles of Scilly. The hull is between the low and high water tide lines. The schooner has no masts or bowsprit, and most of the deck fittings look to be missing. In the very distance is St Helen's Island, partially obscured by the rocky outcrops on the north of Tean Island, and Round Island on the far right with a lighthouse on it.

The schooner Argo (1864) was on passage from Newport, Monmouthshire, to Polruan with a cargo of coal on 22 October 1880. however, off Lundy Island they shipped a heavy sea that caused damage to the ship and split the mainsail. The ship took on water but the pumps could not hold the level down so they made course to Scilly. By 5pm they were fighting heavy cross seas that broke over the ship. They struck a ledge after making towards lights at 7pm and left go both anchors. They dragged ashore on 23 October. The crew took to the rigging and at low tide made it ashore.
