Hi Mick, I've read a couple of reports that the Pencalenick was carrying a cargo of Norway timbers and machinery for Ballydonegan, and by May 23rd 1867 "some identified fragments of the wreck" had been washed ashore at Kil Catherine, on the Beara Peninsular, close to the presumed course of the Pencalenick (Royal Cornwall Gazette, 23 May 1867, p.6).  I am wondering whether Castletownsend might not be too far around the coast to be a likely candidate, even if the vessel had been pounded to bits? Kind regards, PK ________________________________ From: Mick <mick@irishshipwrecks.com> To: Mariners List <mariners@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, 24 October 2011, 0:53 Subject: [MAR] Schooner Pencalenick "Castleton" Hi Listers I am researching a vessel which was lost on the 16th of March 1867, Having left Hayle, Cornwall on the 15th, I have a report which says stern board washed ashore at Castleton. Checked Google Maps, checked the sea charts can't find find it, Where the heck is "Castleton". It has to be one day sail from Hayle ? . The Schooner Pencalenick O.N 13414 was listed in the Board of Trade Wreck Returns as lost near Kil Catherine or Kilcatherine, Ballydonegan Co Cork with the loss of her crew in March 1867.  Other evidence says she was lost closer to home. According to the Port of Hayle "Account of Voyages and Crew of Home Trade Ship, To Be Delivered Half-Yearly to the Shipping Master at the Above Port": the Pencalenick was lost on March 16th, 1867 during a heavy gale.  Her stern board was picked up at Castleton.
