A port beam view of the Norwegian sailing barque Saluto (1867) ashore off Trevean and Stackhouse Sands near Perranuthnoe and Cudden Point with waves breaking along the bow. St Michael's Mount in background on right. The photograph was taken from the shore.

The Saluto (1867) was on passage from the Thames with sand ballast to Barbadoes but was caught in a succession of gales. The pumps became choked with sandy mud and the captain turned the ship back to Falmouth. However, on 8 December 1911 the ship was blown off course and dropped anchor about a mile off Cudden Point to the east of Penzance and Newlyn. The crew were rescued by lifeboat and breeches buoy and the ship was abandoned.
