context_page_description: The list of shipwrecks of the Isles of Scilly is a list of ships which sank on or near the Isles of Scilly. The list includes ships that sustained a damaged hull, which were later refloated and repaired.
context_section_description: 15 January — the 332 ton barque Gauloise ( France) of Bordeaux sailed onto Great Arthur Island on the northern edge of Crow Sound. She was carrying pitprops for Porthcawl and heading NNE when fog came down 14 miles (23 km) south of St Agnes light.
  11 March — while in ballast, the barque Bernardo ( Kingdom of Italy) of Genoa lost her sails in a west-north-west gale and was blown ashore on the back of Annet. The captain was rescued from Old Woman Rock by St Agnes fisherman after the ship broke up around him. Eleven of the crew were drowned in the ship's boat when it capsized. Her figurehead, apparently St Bernard of Clairvaux, is in Valhalla on Tresco.
  7 May — London steamer Egyptian Monarch ( United Kingdom) on passage from New York to her home port with a general cargo including cattle, and passengers, stranded near Bryher. She managed to refloat and made Falmouth the same day with one compartment full of water.
  9 August — no one on the islands knew that the steamer Gomes V ( Portugal) had foundered until a St Martin's pilot boat picked up nineteen crew and one passenger drifting eastwards past Hanjaque in two of the ships boats. She was carrying coal to Oporto from Cardiff and struck the Shag Rock in dense fog.
