British steamship travelling from Galveston to Liverpool with shell heads, steel & cotton. She struck Bullane Rock at the SW tip of Cape Clear
Stuck on the end of Cape Clear, it is surprising that any
salvage has been carried out on this vessel but a large number of the steel
ingot were lifted in 1988. They range in size, the most common being
8ft x 6in x 6in. Rumour has it that another wreck lies along side.
