A port side view, fine of the port bow, of the steel screw three-masted collier Ravonia (1908) stranded on shore near St Ives Head. A number of men and children are around the bows of the ship. The tide is out, so water is washing around the stern to the funnel area of the hull only.

This is a copy of an original photographic print that has been doctored to remove the wooden ladder leading from the rocks to the men leaning over the bulwarks in the waist. The blemishes at the heel of the stem and the anchor have been removed too.

The Ravonia was stranded near St Ives Head on 1 July 1911. The master was found to be responsible for steaming too close to land in foggy weather and not using the lead [The Times report, 17 July 1911].
