Postcrossing GB-192241 from U.K.

Postcard Delight presents this postcard of a British historic barque, a type of sailing ship, named Cromdale wrecked in 1913, without loss of life, off the Lizard in thick fog while carrying nitrates from Chile. The Lizard is a peninsula, in south Cornwall jutting into the English Channel, with coast full of cliffs and underwater reefs which posed hazardous to shipping.
