Blue sky white clouds portrait, looking south, punched names of Fylde Coast shipwrecks, Shiprweck Memorial, Cleveleys, UK


The Fylde Coast, battered by westerly gales, has been the graveyard for many ships over the ages. This memorial, part of Cleveleys £20 million promenade improvement sea change project, commemorates shipwrecks on the Fylde Coast 1643-2008. The names of the vessels, including Nelson's one-time flagship, HMS Foudroyant, wrecked in 1897 and the MS Riverdance Ferry, wrecked in 2008, are punched into the steel frame. A view looking south to the former wreckage site of MS Riverdance.
