About This Tool

Although most of the wrecks recorded in the random kit were laden with treasure, sailors who regularly visited the wreck site on the Cornwall Coast warned that the amateur could be in danger when it went in search of the ship. Because the terrain is not clear here, there are many seaweed and circular sea areas, it is easy to inadvertently into the irregular terrain, resulting in shipwrecks. This random tool recorded 89 ships that had sunk here but was still salvaged so that interested friends could have a closer look.

Most of these wrecks were lost between 1861 and 1870 due to various internal and external factors. The exact time of the sinking, the main cause, the builder of the ship, and important information from the country are all stored in the generator. Cornwall is one of the UK’s most important beaches and attracts many tourists and locals each year. The beach is full of sunken ships, and scientists are still working tirelessly to salvage them in the hope of Rescue Dawn them.
