In January 1864, the Clyde-built paddle steamer Iona II departed for America as a Confederate blockade runner. Battling severe Celtic Sea storms, the adapted vessel sprang uncontrollable leaks. While attempting to shelter near Lundy Island, her boilers flooded, killing all power and causing her to sink upright.
