Riversdale is shown as a wreck on the public map of South Hams. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
The *Riversdale* was a 19th-century British merchant brig, wrecked in 1864 near Start Point, Devon, during a storm. It sank with the loss of all six crew members and a cargo of limestone, contributing to local maritime history as a notable example of coastal trade hazards in the Victorian era.
