In October 1917, the impounded German sailing ship SV Carl broke free from Royal Navy tugs during a fierce gale. It ran aground on the reefs at Booby’s Bay, Cornwall, breaking its back. Shifting sand completely buried the hull, leaving its iron skeleton to occasionally emerge after heavy winter storms.
Booby's Bay seasonal car park field. Walk onto Booby's Bay beach at low tide from the coast path.
