What is recorded here
Samuel is recorded at a wreck point off Pembrokeshire, but no safe date, vessel type, voyage, cause or account of the people aboard has been tied to it. It remains separate from same-name records off Conwy and Swansea, which are too far away to merge on name alone.
The vessel and voyage
Coflein gives Samuel as the name at this Pembrokeshire site. The checked evidence does not establish the owner, master, cargo, starting port, destination or kind of vessel.
How it was lost
The date and cause of loss remain unknown. No weather event, grounding, collision or attack can be stated from the position alone.
Deaths and survival
No names or reliable numbers for deaths and survivors are attached to this exact record.
What remains
The point is off Pembrokeshire at about 51.41690, -5.00580. The available record does not explain whether recognisable wreckage survives or how exact the position is.
Why it mattered
This is a useful local lead but not yet a complete historical event. Its importance can only be judged after a firm documentary or physical match is made.
