What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Alcyone as Wreck from the Modern period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Alcyone was a British steamship that sank in 1917 during World War I after striking a mine in the English Channel. The wreck resulted in the loss of all 30 crew members and was significant as one of several merchant vessels lost to mining operations during the war.
