Wreck of the Bay of Panama - 10 March 1891

I have co-authored a book, with Terry Moyle, titled, The Wreck of the Bay of Panama, 10 March 1891. It occurred during one of the most intense and devastating blizzards to hit the southwest coast of England.

In the book we describe some of the effects of the storm and details about: the history, last voyage and wreck of the ship along the shore of Cornwall; the locale; the rescue effort put forth; and the backgrounds of the people involved, including crew members and rescuers; and and the heroic response from the Cornish communities of St. Keverne, Coverack, Prothoustock and Porthallow..

I published an article about the blizzard in the March/April 2021 issue of Your Genealogy. That periodical, published by Moorshead Magazines Ltd., was merged with Internet Genealogy last fall.

If you are interested in marine history or natural disasters this may be something you might like to consider having on your bookshelf.

The soft-cover book is available directly from Terry for £12.50. Postage to USA and Canada is £9.00. For more information contact Terry at: terrymoyle74 at gmail dot com.
