Martha Jane

Wreck

Why this matters

The Martha Jane was a coaster that sank in 1891 near the coast of Wales after striking a rock. Though the exact number of casualties is unclear, it is known that several crew members died, and the vessel was lost with its cargo; the wreck is significant as a recorded example of 19th-century maritime trade and risk along Welsh shores.
