EXPLORING ABANDONED GHOSTSHIP near LANDS END!
Channel: Fkl770
Date: 2023-08-18

On March 22, 2003, the RMS Mülheim, a cargo ship carrying 2,200 tonnes of scrap car plastic, ran aground in Gamper Bay, Cornwall, England. The ship was en route from Cork, Ireland, to Lübeck, Germany, and was in moderate visibility and fog patches at the time of the accident.

The chief officer, who was on watch at the time, had caught his trousers in the lever of his chair when trying to get up, causing him to fall and become unconscious. By the time he regained consciousness, the ship was already bearing down on the shoreline.

The Sennen Lifeboat and Land's End Coastguard Cliff Team were able to reach the wreck quickly, but the six-man Polish crew of the vessel were airlifted to safety by a search and rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose. The members of the crew were treated for shock at the Sennen Cove Lifeboat Station.
