Description An account of the resource SS Datetree was a brand new British steam collier/cargo ship owned by the Tree Steamship Company. It was only three months old, having been built in early 1914 by the Antwerp Engineering Company. On June 25, 1914, while carrying a cargo of coal from Barry, Wales, to Brest, France, the vessel ran aground on the treacherous Brisons Rocks. Th ship broke its back and split in two, resulting in a total loss. The distinctive diamond shapes on the masts were part of the equipment for hauling coal, and were used on other collier ships.

Description An account of the resource The Red Star Liner, Gothland, wrecked at 4:30 pm on June 23rd 1914. Launched in 1893 by Harland & Wolff of Belfast, it was a four-masted, 490ft long vessel. The Gothland was on passage from Montreal to Rotterdam with a general cargo which included wheat and 500 tons of frozen meat. In addition to her 132 crew, she carried eighty-six passengers, of whom forty-six passengers were Belgian refugees deported from Montreal. After striking the Crims, it was possible to climb down into Nos 2 and 3 holds and see a glimmer of sand and rock through the holes in her bottom. Captain Young of Liverpool Salvage Association set about reflecting her, and his first action was to build a false floor in No 3 hold, after which the level of water inside was reduced by compressed air and she floated clear. As she was pulled away from the rocks by tugs at 7:15 am on 27 June, her foremast fell out through the bottom. She was taken to St. Marys Road and anchored near Nut Rock, after which she went on to Southampton under tow from the tugs Linnet, Triton, and ranger and lay at anchor off Netley for many months before being broken up.
