On 22 December 1894, the Norwegian barque Abana ran aground at Bispham during a 105 mph hurricane after its crew mistook the newly built Blackpool Tower for a lighthouse. A lifeboat hauled seven miles overland successfully rescued all 17 crew members and the captain’s dog. The shipwreck’s ribs remain visible at low tide.
Roadside shoreline car parking at the Princes Way / Anchorsholme Lane West.
