What is recorded here
Samuel is recorded as a wreck off the Conwy coast, but no safe vessel type, year, voyage, cause or human outcome has been found for this exact point. Two other Samuel records lie off Swansea and Pembrokeshire, so this common name is not enough to join their stories.
The vessel and voyage
Coflein records Samuel at this Conwy point. The owner, master, cargo, route and kind of vessel are not established by the sources used here.
How it was lost
No reliable date or cause has been confirmed. The location cannot by itself prove grounding, bad weather or another event.
Deaths and survival
No people are named and there is no checked count of deaths or survivors for this record.
What remains
The point lies off Conwy at about 53.40870, -3.73791. No clear description of the survival, depth or spread of wreckage is given.
Why it mattered
This is a named local lead whose wider meaning remains unknown. Keeping the Conwy record separate protects later research from a false same-name match.
