Wreck

What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Hms Select 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.
HMS Select was a British Royal Navy frigate launched in 1795 and lost in 1800 after striking a reef off the coast of Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka) during a storm. All 28 crew members perished, and the wreck holds historical significance as part of Britain's naval presence in the Indian Ocean during the Napoleonic Wars.
