Mounts Bay

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Mounts Bay as Wreck from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The *Mounts Bay* was a 19th-century British steamship that sank in 1862 off the coast of Wales after colliding with another vessel. The wreck resulted in the loss of several lives and a significant cargo of coal; it is now a protected site and of historical interest due to its association with 19th-century maritime trade and transport in the region.
