Some findings on the net indicate some confusion with regard to the SS. Tregenna Re: positions in UK Diving sites and confusion with material on others. To clarify:
There were FIVE Tregenna’s.
In January, 1880 the second steamship built for Hains
was named Tregenna. Like many other large tramp companies, their ships were registered in small places on the coast; Edward Hain used the family birthplace, St. Ives.
TREGENNA 1880-1892
( 92-To Leith Owners 20-CAP LA HEVE. 23-CARRIE 33-Broken Up )
TREGENNA(2) 1892-1915
( 15-STATHE 26/09/1916-War loss )
TREGENNA (3) Torpedoed/sunk 9 miles South of Dodman Point by UB57 on her maiden voyage from the Tyne to Gibraltar with coal. 26/12/1917
26/12/1917-War loss on her maiden voyage
TREGENNA(4) 1919-1940 ex-WAR BULLDOG 17/09/1940-War loss
TREGENNA Torpedoed/sunk NW of Rockall on voyage from Philadelphia to Newport in HX71 with steel, thirty three crew lost. 17/09/1940
TREGENNA(5) 1949-1959 59-SAFINA-E-NUSRAT 76-Broken Up Gadani Beach
