The vessel and voyage

The national Welsh record names Samuel and Joseph at this Carmarthenshire point. No checked evidence here establishes the vessel's size, rig, owner, master, cargo or route.

How it was lost

No reliable loss date or cause is given. The coastal location cannot turn storm, grounding or collision into a fact.

Deaths and survival

No people are named and no sound count of deaths or survivors has been found for this record.

What remains

The saved point is at about 51.65300, -4.47419 in Carmarthenshire waters. It does not come with a useful description of the size, depth or condition of surviving material.

Why it mattered

The record preserves a separate named loss on the Carmarthenshire coast. Its effect on local people, trade or rescue cannot yet be stated honestly.
