In March 1897, the wooden Norwegian sailing barque SV Nornen was caught in a severe Bristol Channel gale. Blown uncontrollably up the estuary, she ran aground on Berrow Sands. The local Burnham lifeboat rescued all ten crew members and their Great Dane before the vessel was abandoned. The wooden lower ribs, keelson, and anchor chain remain tightly fixed in the intertidal sand.
Berrow Dunes Local Nature Reserve public car park. Walk 20 minutes north across Berrow beach during a low tide.
