An elevated port bow view, taken from the cliffs, of the three-masted sailing ship Cromdale (1891) mostly submerged on the rocks at Bass Point below the Lloyd's Signal Station, just south-east of Lizard, Cornwall. Water is pouring off the forecastle and most of the hull is awash from the waves rolling back from the cliffs. The mizzen top mast has fallen and the main mast is over the side, leaving only the foremast standing.

The Cromdale was sailing from Chile to Falmouth with a cargo of nitrates when it ran into the rocks below the Signal Station at Bass Point in dense fog. The crew took to the ship's lifeboats. The lifeboats from Lizard and Cadgwith put crew on board to rescue personal belongings but were removed as the ship was settling in the water. The wreck broke up on 30 May 1913.
