Resurgam

Wreck

Why this matters

Resurgam was a 19th-century steamship designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and built in 1865 as a self-righting lifeboat. It was lost in 1870 off the coast of Porthcawl, Wales, during a trial voyage when it capsized in heavy seas, resulting in the deaths of all 30 people on board.
