The Wolves

The Wolves

The Wolves are two rocks situated just over a mile north-west of the island of Flat Holm in the Bristol Channel. They measure approximately 25 metres by 20 metres and were responsible for the wrecking of at least two ships:

*1817 — the "William & Mary" struck the rocks and sunk within minutes. 54 passengers were lost, 50 of whom were recovered and buried on Flat Holm.
*1917 — the "Swansea Packet", sank with all 60 passengers and crew.
