Salus

Wreck

What is recorded here

Salus is recorded as a wreck point off Pembrokeshire, but the saved public record does not safely establish her kind, voyage, loss year, cause or human outcome. Another Salus is recorded far away in Carmarthenshire, so the two points are kept separate rather than joined into one invented story.

Salus is recorded as a wreck point off Pembrokeshire, but the saved public record does not safely establish her kind, voyage, loss year, cause or human outcome. Another Salus is recorded far away in Carmarthenshire, so the two points are kept separate rather than joined into one invented story.

The vessel and voyage

The Welsh national record preserves the name Salus at this Pembrokeshire point. No checked evidence here establishes the vessel's size, rig, owner, cargo, starting port or destination.

How it was lost

No reliable loss year or cause is given in the material checked for this fast account. Grounding, storm, collision, fire and deliberate abandonment therefore remain possibilities, not facts.

Deaths and survival

No named people or checked numbers for deaths and survivors are available. Nothing should be inferred from that gap.

What remains

The saved point is off Pembrokeshire at about 52.03050, -5.06045. It marks a recorded wreck location, but the identity, spread and condition of physical remains are not described well enough to claim a surveyed hull.

Why it mattered

For now this is a local research lead. The name and place deserve to be preserved, but wider importance cannot be judged until a dated loss account or firm physical identification is found.
