The vessel and voyage

The Welsh national record preserves the name Samuel for this Swansea-area site. It does not safely give the vessel's type, ownership, master, cargo or route.

How it was lost

No reliable year or cause is established in the checked material. Swansea's busy shipping history offers many possible settings, but none can be assigned to this Samuel without proof.

Deaths and survival

No crew or passenger names and no confirmed death or survivor total have been found for this exact record.

What remains

The saved point is west of Swansea at about 51.56236, -4.30891. The identity and condition of any physical wreckage at the point are not described.

Why it mattered

Samuel currently matters as an unresolved part of Swansea's maritime record. A wider claim would need a firm match to a particular loss or surveyed wreck.
