Just back from a 6 day break in the Gower Peninsula, I had planed various sunrise-sunset shots but we didn't have any!
Was lucky to find this amazing two metre long ship's anchor at low-tide just as the tide started to rise.
Located @ Worm's Head near Rossilli Bay.
The anchor originally belonged to the Norwegian barque Samuel.
The ship ran ashore at 7pm on Tuesday 12th February 1884, along with several hundred tonnes of black gold (coal) whilst on a routine trip from Cardiff to Santos. The alarm was first raised by the local coastguard at Rhossili who saw the ships lights close inshore. Fortunately the coastguard was able to get a line aboard and rescue all eleven crew members. Samuel however was already badly damaged and eventually broke up on the rocks.
