In November 1887, the Norwegian timber barque Helvetia encountered a violent storm off the Gower coast. Unable to secure a pilot, the vessel was driven onto the sands of Rhossili Bay. The entire crew safely escaped ashore, but the abandoned ship sank into the beach, leaving its iconic ribs exposed.
Walk along Rhossili Bay beach during a safe low tide window.
