What is recorded here

Sampson is recorded at a Monmouthshire wreck point near the Severn. The available public details do not safely identify the vessel, date, voyage, cause, people or remains. It is kept apart from the two other Welsh Sampson points because a shared common name is not proof of a shared wreck.

The vessel and voyage

Coflein names this Monmouthshire record Sampson. The type of craft, owner, master, cargo, starting place and destination are not established in the evidence used here.

How it was lost

There is no reliable loss date or cause in the checked material. The Severn setting alone cannot prove grounding, collision, weather or deliberate abandonment.

Deaths and survival

No people are named and there is no safe death or survivor total for this record.

What remains

The point is at about 51.59910, -2.67341 in the Monmouthshire part of the Severn area. The amount and nature of any surviving wreck material are not described.

Why it mattered

The site is a local lead within the long history of Severn shipping. Its wider importance remains unknown until the record is tied to a particular loss account.
