A distant starboard quarter view of the three-masted sailing ship Andola (1886) stranded on the shore broadside-to with a list to port. The photograph was taken from cliffs of Manacle Point, three-quarters of a mile south-west of Porthoustock. The sails are furled and the rig is in good order. Both anchors had been laid off the port side to try to prevent the ship striking the rocks further but they dragged. Two people, slightly blurred, are standing on the grass at the top of the headland looking at the ship. The rocks of the headland dominate the lower half of the photograph.

The Andola had left Tacoma on 9 August 1894 with a cargo of wheat to go to Falmouth for orders (to proceed to Hull) and provisions. On 29 January Andola left Falmouth but the wind shifting to the south-east took the ship aback. As the weather was deteriorating with squally snow showers the ship tacked off shore but despite seeing the Lizard lights and hearing a bell, the ship struck the Shark's Fin Rocks off Manacle Point and ended up on the below the cliffs on 30 January 1895.
