Port bow view of the iron brigantine Henry Harvey (1857) aground upright with the tide out at Battery Rocks off Penzance. The photographer was on the shore looking south with the faint outline of St Michael's Mount in the distance on the left. Some people are standing off the broadside and bow areas. Ships in the background.

The Henry Harvey (1857) was bound from Runcorn to Lelant with a cargo of coal when it missed stays trying to enter Penzance in a NE gale and heavy seas on 25 March 1898. The anchor was dropped but the cable parted, and the ship drifted onto Woollan's Rocks, near Battery Rocks. The Penzance RNLI lifeboat Elizabeth and Blanche came to their assistance, rescuing the five crew and one woman. On 27 March the ship was refloated after the cargo jettisoned and towed into Penzance by the salvage tug Chase. [Royal Cornwall Gazette, 31 March 1898].
