SHIPWRECKS

34. "Gethen"

Date: 26.01.1954

Henties Bay

Gethen, the fishing trawler, was stranded at Henties Bay's North Dune and became one of the most well-known shipwrecks at the west coast. The wreck was used by local anglers for fishing from her in high tide but nothing is lest of it as the rough Atlantic disintegrated Gethen's body to pieces. Many vessel pieces and artifacts were carried away by local visitors and parts of its structure was also used as firewood. The late Mr. Keet mentioned amongst others that the nameplate of this boat was kept as a decoration at one of the holiday houses at Henties Bay. It is possible that the engine block is still visible during low tide.

35. "Guernsey Lilly"

Date: 1840s

Ichaboe Island
