Summary
A shipwreck in recent times.
A vessel called the 'Barnstaple' was wrecked in February 1903. All lives were lost. She had been carrying a cargo of whisky and, for a certain period after the event, hundreds of cases were washed up on the beach. Many of these were salvaged and hidden by the locals.
