Volnay

Wreck

Why this matters

The *Volnay* was a French merchant vessel wrecked off the coast of Cornwall in 1838. It struck a reef near the Lizard Peninsula during a storm, resulting in the loss of all six crew members and a significant cargo of wine, which had a notable impact on the local wine trade.
