What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Hugh William 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 *Hugh William* was a 19th-century British merchant vessel that was lost off the coast of Wales during a storm in 1867. It carried general cargo, and while the exact number of lives lost is unknown, it is believed that several crew members perished; the wreck is now recorded as a protected site in the National Monuments Record of Wales.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
