Earl Chatham

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Earl Chatham as Wreck from the Ôl-ganoloesol period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The Earl Chatham was a British steamship built in 1869 that was lost in 1894 after striking a rock near Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel. The wreck resulted in the loss of all 14 crew members and significant cargo, and it remains one of the most notable maritime disasters in the region due to its total loss and the ongoing historical and archaeological interest in the site.
