A ship that sank three hundred years ago rarely left a neat position behind. So every wreck is marked to show how well its position is known, and we never put a pin on a spot nobody has recorded.
6 wrecks
Recorded site
The position of a surveyed wreck site. For the five protected wrecks this comes from Historic England's list entries, and for the Firebrand from survey work by CISMAS.
20 wrecks
On the named rock
The records name the rock or ledge the ship struck, so she is placed on it. Her remains may be scattered around it. On a small islet the pin sits at the water's edge.
25 wrecks
Area only
Only a general area is known, such as "off Annet" or "south of St Mary's". The shaded circle covers that area honestly, and the widest show only when you choose that wreck.
Where sources disagree about a date, a death toll or a position, the story for that wreck says so. If you know something we have wrong, please tell us.
22 October 1707
Shovell's fleet on the Western Rocks
The worst night in the islands' history: four ships of the returning fleet lost in the dark, and well over a thousand men with them.
Some of the best wreck diving in Britain is here. Five wrecks are protected by law and need a licence from Historic England, some are the graves of the people who died on them, and anything brought up from any wreck must be reported to the Receiver of Wreck. Look, photograph, and leave them as you found them.
Dates and death tolls for older wrecks often differ between sources. Each story gives the range.
How many shipwrecks are there around the Isles of Scilly?+
Nobody knows exactly. Visit Isles of Scilly puts the number of recorded wrecks around the islands at over 1,000, and many more ships were lost before anyone kept records. Our map shows 51 of the best documented, each placed as accurately as the records allow.
Why have so many ships been wrecked on Scilly?+
The islands sit at the mouth of the English Channel and the Bristol Channel, right across the routes ships took home from the Atlantic. Hundreds of ledges lie just under the surface, fog and gales arrive quickly, and before ships could fix their longitude many simply did not know how close they were.
What is the most famous shipwreck on Scilly?+
The loss of Sir Cloudesley Shovell's fleet on the night of 22 October 1707, when HMS Association, Eagle, Romney and the fireship Firebrand struck the Western Rocks and well over a thousand men died. The worst loss of life since then was the German liner Schiller in 1875.
What was the most recent big shipwreck on the Isles of Scilly?+
Of the wrecks on our map, the most recent is the container ship Cita, which ran onto Newfoundland Point near Porth Hellick on St Mary's in March 1997. All her crew were rescued, and her cargo washed up along the shore.
Can you dive the wrecks?+
Many are popular dive sites, but five Scilly wrecks are protected under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 (the Association, Tearing Ledge, Bartholomew Ledges, HMS Colossus and the Wheel Wreck), and you need a licence from Historic England to dive them. Leave everything where it lies, and report anything you do bring up to the Receiver of Wreck.
Where can I see shipwreck finds on Scilly?+
The Valhalla collection in Tresco Abbey Garden holds figureheads and carvings from ships lost around the islands, and the Isles of Scilly Museum on St Mary's cares for finds from many local wrecks. Many of the dead from the Schiller lie in Old Town churchyard on St Mary's.
