Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not  work) :

*************

The list of shipwrecks of Cornwall lists the ships which sank on or near the coasts of mainland Cornwall. The list includes ships that sustained a damaged hull, which were later refloated and repaired. Around a coast of approximately 250 miles an estimated 6000 ships have been wrecked, more than on any other comparable coastline of the British Isles.^[1] A traditional saying about the north coast is ""From Pentire Point to Hartland light, A watery grave by day and night.""^[2] The coast of the Lizard peninsula is particularly hazardous to shipping and the seaways round it were historically known as the ""Graveyard of Ships"".
