In September 1908, the iron sailing barque Amazon snapped its anchor cables during a hurricane-force gale in Swansea Bay. Driven broadside onto Margam Sands near Port Talbot, the vessel quickly broke apart in the pounding surf. Tragically, twenty of the twenty-eight crew members lost their lives.
Roadside beach layby at Heolcaer Bont.
