On 14 April 1953, the historic 19th-century naval training ship HMS Conway ran aground on "The Platters" rocks in the Menai Strait while being towed for a refit. The grounding broke her back. Later destroyed by an accidental fire during 1956 dismantling work, its structural iron and timber fragments remain pinned to the coastline.
