The wreck of the "Royal Iris"

The wreck of the "Royal Iris" is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.

The Royal Iris was a 19th-century British steamship that sank in 1874 near the Isle of Wight after colliding with the paddle steamer *Celtic*. The wreck was significant as it contributed to the development of early maritime safety regulations in the UK.
