    2. Greetings Mick Castletown, Portland Dorset? However, I have no idea how far one can sail in a day.

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. Mick www.irishshipwrecks.com
