Account of Wreck from Cornishman Newspaper, December 9th 1911 "Watched by hundreds of spectators, the Norwegian Barque Saluto was driven ashore close to St. Michael’s Mount on Wednesday morning, and it is likely to become a total wreck. In the teeth of one of the worst gales for a quarter of a century, the crew of thirteen all told were taken off by the Newlyn Lifeboat Elizabeth and Blanche and safely landed at that port amid scenes of great enthusiasm. The Saluto is an iron Barque and hails from Christiansund. She was commanded by Captain Olsen, and carried a crew of thirteen. She was bound from London to the West Indies in ballast. She left the Thames on November 23rd, but experienced bad weather. On Friday last, when in the Bay of Biscay, the vessel sprang a leak and matters rapidly worked towards a crisis. The water mixed with the ballast and thus choked the pumps. The leak was discovered forward on the starboard side, but despite all the efforts of the crew- who tried to plug it with a sail, white lead etc.- it was found impossible to stop it and with the pumps choked, the water rapidly rose in the hold. With the weather continuing bad, the captain recognised the danger of proceeding on his voyage and on Monday he determined to make for Falmouth. Under light sail the Saluto was in the vicinity of the Lizard on Tuesday night, but the wind then increased in velocity and it was found impossible to round the headland. The wind also changed its direction, and the Saluto was driven towards the centre of the Bay. The crew could do nothing more. The signal of distress was hoisted, and they waited patiently for help from the shore. It was in this state that the Barque was observed from Mousehole at about 9.30 on Wednesday morning. The intelligence was immediately sent to Newlyn and at 9.45 the lifeboat crew was summoned by rocket. With commendable foresight the Elizabeth and Blanche had been kept afloat, and in a few minutes Coxswain T.E.Vingoe and his crew were proceeding out of the Harbour to the rescue of the doomed ship. Some three or four of the lifeboat’s regular crew were away from Newlyn on fishing duty, but there was no difficulty in obtaining volunteers. The report of the rocket attracted to the harbour and to the sea front at Penzance a big crowd of interested spectators, who watched with intense excitement the subsequent proceedings. At the time the lifeboat left the harbour one of the fiercest gales on record in the Bay was raging from the S.W., and huge seas were running. The distressed vessel was three or four miles to the South-Eastward of Mousehole, and was rapidly drifting in the direction of Cudden. Under sails the lifeboat put out, her progress being followed with no little anxiety. At one moment she would be sent to the crest of a big wave, and the next she would be lost from view in the trough of the sea. There was no faltering and steadily and quickly she reduced the distance between herself and the Barque. Those on board the latter had observed the lifeboat’s approach, and had let go both anchors, but so violent was the gale and so great the seas that one of her cables snapped and the remaining anchor failed to hold the vessel. What actually was happening when the lifeboat had drawn alongside the Barque could not be followed by those on shore, as the vessel had reached within a couple of miles of Cudden, and vision was also obstructed by the heavy rain squalls which frequently swept over the Bay, blotting out even the Barque itself. After the lapse of a short time, however, the lifeboat was seen coming away from the Barque, and as she neared the land it was seen that her human freight had been considerably augmented. Sailing splendidly she quickly reached Newlyn where a tremendous ovation was accorded her plucky crew. The sirens of all the steam craft gave vent to a triumphant peon, and the throngs on the wharfs waved their hats and shouted enthusiastically. And let it be said the plucky lifeboat- men deserved the praise which was bestowed upon them, for on all hands it is admitted it was one of the smartest rescues ever effected in the Bay. So smartly had the whole affair been carried out that not more than an hour and a half had elapsed from the time the lifeboat left the harbour till the return with the whole of the crew of thirteen of the Saluto."

Owned by Frederick Ferrer of Valencia, the Juan Ferrer was only three years old and had been built in her home port of AST Neptune. Her cargo was several thousand bundles of staves, large sheets of thick plywood, and sporting shotguns. The weather was bad: a strong damp south-west wind had brought thick drizzle and occasional fierce rainstorms in from the Atlantic, and a heavy ground swell broke beneath the Lamorna Cliffs. Steadily the Juan Ferrer rolled on through the wind and rain: at 2:30 am the light of another vessel astern suddenly vanished as she ran into a thick bank of fog. Her young captain, 32-year-old Luis Ruiz, made for the radio room to contact Land's Land and establish his position. Minutes ticked by with only the crackle of static coming through, then came a cry from the deck, "Rocks Ahead!" which sent him racing topside. Right in front of the Juan Ferrer's bow towered 'great looming shapes' as the captain later described them and his shout for "Full Astern" was drowned as the coaster's elegantly flared bow smashed into a wall of granite below Carn Boscawen. Deck Cargo broke lose under the impact and, calling for all hands, the captain ran back to the radio room. At 3 am, Land's End radio picked up 'Juan Ferrer. Am ashore vicinity of Mount's Bay.' It was the only signal Captain Ruiz could send out before the sea put the generators out of action. Jose Sevillano, a 21-year-old sailor who had been hurled from his bunk by the sudden shock, reached the deck to find the ship already heeling over into the surf. Benito Nuncy, another young seaman, joined in trying to launch the lifeboats which were carried on each side of the funnel, abaft the bridge. One boat was against the rocks, so the Spaniards turned to the other. After a struggle in the wind and darkness they lowered it, but a heavy sea smashed it against the coaster's side and it was swept away. There was one other boat, a small dinghy carried in the bows, but there was no hope of reaching it over the jumbled chaos of wha had once been a neatly-stacked deck cargo. The Juan Ferrer listed until her decks were almost vertical, but the rocks were only twelve feet away and Benito Nuncy jumped overboard. He was dashed on to the rocks but managed to crawl up beyond reached of the waves: soon Jose Sevillano, Baldomero Garcia, the 19-year-old bosun and Jose Oijnaga, the 20 year-old chief engineer, also leapt overboard. Garcia vanished at once, even though he wore a life jacket like the others, and Oijnaga was swept away as he tried to get hold on the slippery granite. Jose Sevillano alone scrambled up to join Benito Nuncy on Carn Boscawen. Fifteen minutes later the gallery boy, Jose Alonso, got ashore half-naked, and the three huddled among the boulders to shelter for the wind and driving rain. They stayed there in hope that more of their shipmates had survived, although the Juan Ferrer was barely visible in the surf below. Captain Ruiz stayed with his ship until the last possible moment, when, although a non-swimmer, he leapt off the stern as the coaster rolled over beneath him. The suction dragged him down and when he surfaced it was to hear the cries of the crew around him, but they soon faded and he was left alone in the rough seas. Supported by a bundle of wooden staves from the cargo, he trod water and drifted back and forth with the current. The first streaks of dawn gave him hope, and as he rose on a wave crest he could just make out the distant shape of the Penlee lifeboat. He tried to shout and strike out towards her but his limbs were numb. Fortunately, his feeble cries were heard by two brothers, members of the Treen LSA company (another form of coastguard) who, along with every other rescue service had been searching for the Juan Ferrer since her distress call at three o'clock. The brothers signalled to the lifeboat and it closed in, hands reached down and Captain Ruiz was pulled from the sea in the last stages of exhaustion. He had been in the water for nearly four hours. The three survivors on shore had stayed near the wreck for several hours before they struck off inland across the fields, and they were met by a rescue part at seven o'clock as they wandered up a farm lane. They were hurried to the warm hospitality of a nearby farm, whilst the coastguards, LSA companies, an armada of rescue ships and a naval helicopter converged on Carn Boscawen. The Juan Ferrer lay submerged, nothing visible except the tip of her bows, rocking gently up and down with the waves swirling back and forth across the white letters of her name. Eleven of her crew had been drowned; nearly all of them young men in their early twenties. Only two were over thirty-two, and some, like the bosom, were hardly out of their teens. Months after the wreck, the cargo was found strewed over the shores form Lands End to Marazion. The goods were particularly useful for local people, who used them in a variety of ingenious ways.

Jose Sevillano alone scrambled up to join Benito Nuncy on Carn Boscawen. Fifteen minutes later the gallery boy, Jose Alonso, got ashore half-naked, and the three huddled among the boulders to shelter for the wind and driving rain. They stayed there in hope that more of their shipmates had survived, although the Juan Ferrer was barely visible in the surf below. Captain Ruiz stayed with his ship until the last possible moment, when, although a non-swimmer, he leapt off the stern as the coaster rolled over beneath him. The suction dragged him down and when he surfaced it was to hear the cries of the crew around him, but they soon faded and he was left alone in the rough seas. Supported by a bundle of wooden staves from the cargo, he trod water and drifted back and forth with the current. The first streaks of dawn gave him hope, and as he rose on a wave crest he could just make out the distant shape of the Penlee lifeboat. He tried to shout and strike out towards her but his limbs were numb. Fortunately, his feeble cries were heard by two brothers, members of the Treen LSA company (another form of coastguard) who, along with every other rescue service had been searching for the Juan Ferrer since her distress call at three o'clock. The brothers signalled to the lifeboat and it closed in, hands reached down and Captain Ruiz was pulled from the sea in the last stages of exhaustion. He had been in the water for nearly four hours. The three survivors on shore had stayed near the wreck for several hours before they struck off inland across the fields, and they were met by a rescue part at seven o'clock as they wandered up a farm lane. They were hurried to the warm hospitality of a nearby farm, whilst the coastguards, LSA companies, an armada of rescue ships and a naval helicopter converged on Carn Boscawen. The Juan Ferrer lay submerged, nothing visible except the tip of her bows, rocking gently up and down with the waves swirling back and forth across the white letters of her name. Eleven of her crew had been drowned; nearly all of them young men in their early twenties. Only two were over thirty-two, and some, like the bosom, were hardly out of their teens. Months after the wreck, the cargo was found strewed over the shores form Lands End to Marazion. The goods were particularly useful for local people, who used them in a variety of ingenious ways.

Owned by Frederick Ferrer of Valencia, the Juan Ferrer was only three years old and had been built in her home port of AST Neptune. Her cargo was several thousand bundles of staves, large sheets of thick plywood, and sporting shotguns. The weather was bad: a strong damp south-west wind had brought thick drizzle and occasional fierce rainstorms in from the Atlantic, and a heavy ground swell broke beneath the Lamorna Cliffs. Steadily the Juan Ferrer rolled on through the wind and rain: at 2:30 am the light of another vessel astern suddenly vanished as she ran into a thick bank of fog. Her young captain, 32-year-old Luis Ruiz, made for the radio room to contact Land's Land and establish his position. Minutes ticked by with only the crackle of static coming through, then came a cry from the deck, "Rocks Ahead!" which sent him racing topside. Right in front of the Juan Ferrer's bow towered 'great looming shapes' as the captain later described them and his shout for "Full Astern" was drowned as the coaster's elegantly flared bow smashed into a wall of granite below Carn Boscawen. Deck Cargo broke lose under the impact and, calling for all hands, the captain ran back to the radio room. At 3 am, Land's End radio picked up 'Juan Ferrer. Am ashore vicinity of Mount's Bay.' It was the only signal Captain Ruiz could send out before the sea put the generators out of action. Jose Sevillano, a 21-year-old sailor who had been hurled from his bunk by the sudden shock, reached the deck to find the ship already heeling over into the surf. Benito Nuncy, another young seaman, joined in trying to launch the lifeboats which were carried on each side of the funnel, abaft the bridge. One boat was against the rocks, so the Spaniards turned to the other. After a struggle in the wind and darkness they lowered it, but a heavy sea smashed it against the coaster's side and it was swept away. There was one other boat, a small dinghy carried in the bows, but there was no hope of reaching it over the jumbled chaos of wha had once been a neatly-stacked deck cargo. The Juan Ferrer listed until her decks were almost vertical, but the rocks were only twelve feet away and Benito Nuncy jumped overboard. He was dashed on to the rocks but managed to crawl up beyond reached of the waves: soon Jose Sevillano, Baldomero Garcia, the 19-year-old bosun and Jose Oijnaga, the 20 year-old chief engineer, also leapt overboard. Garcia vanished at once, even though he wore a life jacket like the others, and Oijnaga was swept away as he tried to get hold on the slippery granite.
