Way back in 1936 one of the most famous clipper ships was shipwrecked in South Devon. My dad saw them getting people ashore. In the distance is the Queen Mary.
They used a breaches buoy to get the crew ashore. Later it was towed to the outskirts of Salcombe. In the end it sank.Very sad.
It was on Pathe News and quite famous at the time.
