On 16 June 1897, Lord Nelson’s former flagship, HMS Foudroyant, was driven ashore near Blackpool’s North Pier during a violent gale, damaging the jetty of the North Pier. The local lifeboat safely rescued all 27 crew members. The grounded warship drew massive tourist crowds before being dismantled; its timbers were widely recycled into local furniture and souvenirs.
The nearest car park to Blackpool North Pier is the West Street Multi-Storey Car Park, located just a 3-minute walk (approx. 0.1 miles) away. A few convenient parking options sit within a short walking distance from the pier structure.
