The storms of the winter, coupled with unusually low tides, have exposed the remains of three ships wrecked on the same Cornish beach.
The last time any of the wrecks of the iron steamships Cintra, Vulture and Bessie were exposed was back in January 2021, but not nearly to the extent that has been seen over the last week in Carbis Bay, in West Cornwall.
The jagged fragments of the steam collier Bessie are a familiar sight on the beach between St Ives and Hayle, but locals have been telling Cornwall Live that they’ve never seen so much of the wreck exposed - alongside two other ships that went down on the same night 130 years ago.
