context_section_description: 23 February - the 1529 ton barquentine Adolf Vinnen ( Germany) was wrecked at Green Lane Cove, Bass Point, in a severe gale while carrying insufficient ballast and on her maiden voyage. All her crew were saved by breeches–buoy. Many forks and spoons were washed up and used for many years.
  June – 993 ton steamer Nivelle ( United Kingdom) of London steamed into Pentreath, near Kynance Cove in thick fog.  Her crew was taken off by the Pilley and her cargo of coal was salvaged and carried up the cliff by the locals.
  29 September – steamer Gutfield ( Germany) of Hamburg bound for Cardiff from London ran aground near Cape Cornwall. She was refloated and steamed to Falmouth for repairs.
  8 October – the 6,000 ton City of Westminster ( United Kingdom) bound from Belfast to Rotterdam with a cargo of South African maize knocked the top of the Runnelstone reef clean off.  A total of 48 people were taken off by the Sennen and Penlee lifeboats and a further 25 in the ship's boat were towed to Newlyn by the steam drifter Pioneer. Today the remains lie in 30 metres of water, jammed into a gully on the eastern side of the stone.
