Earl of Chatham

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Earl of 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 of Chatham* was a British steamship that sank in 1865 off the coast of Wales after colliding with the French ship *Cyrus*. The wreck resulted in the loss of 136 lives and holds significance as one of the worst maritime disasters in Welsh waters during the 19th century.
