Pendine beach
Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 114720 Trust : Dyfed Community : Pendine Unitary authority : Carmarthenshire NGR : SN2447107707 Site Type (preferred type first) : MODERN WRECK
Summary : The remains of a timber wreck exposed due to sand-dune erosion at top of Pendine beach within MOD controlled area. Approx dimensions are 9.7m (32ft) x 5.1m (17ft). The bow is buried in the sand, and the rudder is to seaward end. Copies of two contemporary postcards (N.M.R. Collections: Thomas Lloyd Carmathenshire Album, TL1/107 and Wrecks Collection) show, in all probability, the boat to have been recently wrecked in the 1920s. The vessel is two masted, with a bowsprit, the main mast having been removed or destroyed. The wreck is grounded high on the beach, in a very similar position and orientation. JS from RCAHMW 2018.
