SV Andromeda [+1915]

	On passage Tacoma to Falmouth "for orders", the Andromeda was unable to make contact with a pilot when she arrived due to a southerly gale. Driven further down the coast, she came ashore in the early hours between Falmouth and Porthscatho. The Falmouth lifeboat attended but was unable to get alongside and was forced to return. 27 of those on board were saved by the Porthscatho rocket apparatus, including the captain´s wife and two children. The only loss of life was an apprentice who was washed overboard soon after she grounded. Very soon after her grounding she became a complete wreck.
