Hibernia

Wreck

What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Hibernia 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.
Hibernia was a 19th-century steamship that sank off the coast of Wales in 1877 after striking a rock during a storm. No lives were lost, but the vessel was carrying a significant cargo of coal, which was lost; the wreck is noted for its historical value as an example of mid-Victorian maritime technology.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
