Cuckoo

Shipwreck

What is recorded here

The public map records Cuckoo as a wreck.
Cuckoo was a 19th-century British coaster, wrecked in 1863 near the coast of Cumbria after running aground in heavy fog. The vessel was carrying a general cargo of coal and agricultural produce; all six crew members were rescued with no loss of life. Its wreck remains a notable example of small-scale coastal trade in the mid-Victorian era.

A wreck point does not grant access or permission to dive, enter land, disturb the site or recover anything. Check current law and local conditions first.
