General History:
"On Monday night at 10.30 pm, whilst some 20 miles off the Fastnet lighthouse, the steam trawler "MAGNOLIA", Skipper Walter Perry, Milford Haven, met with an accident which caused her to sink. The first intimation that anything was wrong was when the engines began to race, and there was a crash to the vessel's stern, through which the water began to pour. Flares were immediately burned, and answered by the Swansea trawler "Amroth Castle", Skipper W. Lloyd, of Swansea, three miles away, which vessel made all haste to the assistance of the disabled one, and took her in tow. Despite the most heroic work of the engine room staff and all hands of the "MAGNOLIA", they were forced to abandon the vessel at 2.30 am on Tuesday morning. Soon afterwards, she disappeared beneath the waves. The shipwreck ed crew were brought to Berehaven."
