SV Albert Wilhelm

Yes indeed 1886 - details will follow later.

Ok I ll take a rest before going through the other hundreds of albums. I should let someone else have a go at uploading :idea:

Albert Wilhelm; 202 ton brigantine; Built 1856 Drossel, Zingst; Registered Barth Germany; From Ramsey IOM to Fowey in ballast Master Wallace; she hit the reef Stones, and was driven in to Lelant 16th October 1886; she lost the top of a mast (seen to the left of picture). Isis - Hayle lifeboat worked her last rescue, saving four crew members, but with the loss of seven oars and two lifeboat crews exhausted. Five other crew had been rescued by breeches-buoy; the crew pitched on the beach for the night, only to later the next day watch the SS Excelsior be stranded a matter of yards from their brigantine.
