The Wreck of the SS Belem, Northcott Mouth
A striking study in maritime history and coastal reclamation along the shores of Northcott Mouth. Emerging from the shifting sands at low tide, the preserved iron boiler and riveted wreckage of the SS Belem—stranded here in 1917—stand encrusted in organic honeycomb worm reefs and bright green sea lettuce. Framed by the dramatic, chevron-folded cliffs of the Bude Formation and towering rock arches beyond, this piece captures the wild, untamed spirit of the Atlantic coast and the vessels shaped by its power.
