Title A name given to the resource Wreck of "Bessemer City" wrecked at October 31st 1936 Description An account of the resource The American steamer Bessemer City wrecked at Clodgy in 1936, was launched in 1921 by the Chickasaw Shipbuilding Company of Alabama for the US Steel Production Company. She was steel screw steamer of 3,450 tons net, 5,686 tons gross, powered by two steam turbines, geared to a single shaft, made the Federal Shipbuilding Company of Kearney, New Jersey. Under the ownership of the Isthmian SS Co of New York, and commanded by Captain Joseph Herman, the Bessemer City left Liverpool on the evening of October 31st 1936 for London, to complete discharging her general cargo from the USA. Twenty-four hours later she passed Godrevy light which was almost hidden by thick wintry haze, and shortly before midnight grounded heavily under Pen Enys Point. In the weeks following, the Bessemer City broke up. Her poor complete with mast and cargo derricks, drifted under Trevalgan Cliff, and heavy seas demolished even the large forward and midship sections. Cases of tinned fruit and salmon, boxes of raisins, sultanas and other delicacies ripened in the California sunshine, came ashore from Clodgy to Newquay. A Penzance firm recovered a lot, but a great deal more vanished into kitchen cupboards and was put to good used during the days of scarcity that followed. Though her location was well known; the Bessemer City lay undisturbed until September 1963, when she was re-discovered by crayfish divers.

Title A name given to the resource Wreck of "Paris", at Coverack May 21st 1899. Description An account of the resource The Paris left Southampton on 20 May 1899 with 380 passengers and 372 crew and collected a further 50 passengers from Cherbourg, then making passage to New York. The ship diverted to Eddystone and Lizard Lighthouses to get a navigational fix. However, in light misty rain the ship was about 15 miles off course and ran onto Lowland Point on Sunday 21 May. The passengers and crew were taken off the next morning by tug. The ship was eventually refloated. The Paris was eventually patched and towed to a dockyard where she was repaired, had one of her funnels removed and was again made seaworthy. Misfortune again dogged her career. She had another mishap in New York Harbour , was again made seaworthy and re-christened the Philadelphia. Once more misfortune followed her, but I cannot recall her ultimate end.
