I wonder if there are good statistics on the number of wrecks...

One shipwreck that is etched on my memory is that of the Union Star which was lost, along with the Penlee lifeboat, on this coast a few miles south of Penzance on 19th December 1981.
The eight man crew of the Soloman Browne (Penlee lifeboat) and all eight on board the Union Star perished. Union Star A Royal Navy Sea King helicopter was sent to the scene as part of the rescue effort. Pilot i/c was Lt Cdr Russell Smith USN. Lt Cdr Smith was on an exchange posting with the Royal Navy and makes a significant contribution to this documentary. The technical quality of this video leaves something to be desired on occasions, but it's worth persevering with. Penlee Lifeboat Disaster

Typo: The Penlee lifeboat was the 'Solomon Browne' and not as shown above.
