The Wreck of the SS Belem, Northcott Mouth

from £95.00

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.

The Lowena Standard

  • Locally Crafted in Bude: Printed and hand-stretched right here in Cornwall by our local specialist printmaker, keeping production rooted in our coastal community.

  • Fine Art Satin Canvas: Archival pigment inks capture tactile textures in the rusted ironwork, bright green algae, and deep rock strata with rich shadow detail and zero surface glare.

  • Solid Wood Construction: Stretched tightly over rigid wooden stretcher bars to prevent warping or sag, complete with gallery-wrapped edges and hanging hardware pre-installed.

Available Sizes & Framing Options

Arrives fully stretched, edge-wrapped, and ready to hang.

  • Small (18" x 12" / ~45 x 30 cm) — £95

    Native 3:2 camera ratio. Ideal for home offices, hallways, bedrooms, or integrated coastal gallery groupings.

  • Medium (24" x 18" / ~60 x 45 cm) — £135

    4:3 ratio (subtle crop). A classic mid-size profile suited for display above a desk, console table, or sideboard.

  • Large Statement (30" x 20" / ~76 x 50 cm) — £195

    Native 3:2 camera ratio. The hero format. Captures the full compositional breadth of the wreckage and sweeping cliffs without cropping, creating a commanding centerpiece above a sofa or mantelpiece.
