Fort Medine

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Fort Medine 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.

Fort Medine was a 19th-century British troopship that sank in 1855 off the coast of Anglesey, Wales, after striking a rock during a storm. The wreck resulted in the loss of approximately 300 soldiers and passengers, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters in Welsh history; its significance lies in its tragic impact on military and civilian communities and its preservation as a protected site under Welsh heritage records.
