Above Some of the L.S.A Rescue Team

The Steam Ship Ethelwalda was carrying hit the North Breakwater on the 30th of October 1911 when trying to enter Port Talbot Docks.She was carrying a cargo of pit props which had to be thrown over board in a attempt to lighten her.This was failed to work

There is very little I can find out about her other than there was not very bad on the day she ran aground .Some of her could still be seen at low tide when I was a child in the 60s I was sent some information on her but sadly it was lost along with the senders e-mail address when my hard drive went down along with the back up.

There was a tragic event when some children playing on the wreck got trapped with one of them sadly not making it out alive despite the attempts to save the child
