At Low Tide, especially after winter storms, historic shipwrecks are to be seen on many UK beaches. All can be visited on foot, most seen without getting your feet wet. This book describes the stories and details of some 35 that can be seen around the Welsh coast. Two of them have not been positively identified, but the author, using his expertise as a wreck detective has suggested a name for the shipwreck. All these shipwrecks are part of our cultural heritage. Please respect them as historical monuments to our bygone maritime heritage. They are like museum pieces that can be visited freely for us to ponder and learn from. Some of these wrecks have lain in the sand for more than 200 years and if respected now, should still be there in another 200 years.

Thousands of silver cobs lie under the sands of Rhossili. Tom Bennett has investigated and found that the coins were traded for furs in New Amsterdam (New York) in 1639. The coins were part of a cargo on the Dutch West India Company ship Princess wrecked at Mumbles in 1647. Beaver furs, red timber and the bodies of 80 souls were scattered across Swansea Bay and the wreck was salvaged by Squire Mansel of Henllys on the Gower.
