A port bow view of the general cargo steam screw ship Cragoswald (1899) semi-submerged by the bows in Mount's Bay. The upper deck is awash with water between the forecastle and the bridge superstructure. The top of the forward hatch is still covered with tarpaulins and is just above water. The photographer was at sea in a boat just off the port bow looking down the side of the ship towards the bows of a salvage ship along the port side by the bridge.

The Cragoswald was on passage from Barry to Venice with a cargo of coal when it became stranded on the Low Lee Rock, Mount's Bay on 29 April 1911. According to The Times article, dated 13 April 1911, reporting on the results of the Inquiry, the captain had decided to put into Penzance as the chief engineer was seriously ill. He had misjudged the tide and current leading to the misidentification of the Low Lee Rock buoy on the west side as the Mount-a-Mopus buoy on the east side of Mount's Bay. The ship was refloated after the cargo had been jettisoned.
