The cargo steamer Rosedale (1877) aground on Porthminster Beach.
A port quarter view of the general cargo ship Rosedale (1877) aground, broadside-to on Porthminster Beach, St Ives. As the tide is out, a small group of people is standing close to the port bow and another group off the port beam on the beach. In the background is St Ives Harbour, full of ships and boats, with the breakwater on the right. The photographer was standing on the grass above the beach looking north towards St Ives.
On 17 November 1893 Rosedale was en route from Southampton to Cardiff, when it was driven ashore during hurricane conditions, at Porthminster Beach, St. Ives, Cornwall. The Coast Guard used rockets and breeches buoys to bring the 16 crew ashore, as the lifeboat could not get to the ship. The ship broke in two after a storm the following day.
