Bailiwick of Jersey

The list of shipwrecks in the Channel Islands lists some of the ships that wrecked on or sank in the waters of the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Bailiwick of Jersey. The list includes ships that sustained a damaged hull, which were later refloated and repaired.

There are at least 700 identified shipwrecks and another 100 unidentified, in Bailiwick of Guernsey waters alone.[1]: 105–128 

Jersey experiences some of the largest tidal ranges in the world, up to 12 metres;[2] Guernsey has slightly less dramatic tides. The mass of water moving in and out gives rise to fast moving currents. Alderney has the Alderney Race, which can run up to about twelve knots during equinoctial tides. These combined with the numerous smaller islands, offshore reefs, and isolated rocks extending up to 13 miles (21 km) from the main islands, as well as the Islands' location close to the English Channel shipping channels, has resulted in thousands of shipwrecks over the centuries.

Location map of Les Casquets

The Bailiwick of Guernsey comprises the islands of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm and a number of smaller islands, islets and rocks. See List of islands of the Bailiwick of Guernsey for a complete list of their smaller islands.

Les Casquets or (The) Casquets (/kæsˈkɛts/ kas-KETS); is a group of rocks 13 km west of Alderney and are part of an underwater sandstone ridge. Other parts which emerge above the water are the islets of Burhou and Ortac. Little vegetation grows on them.

The Bailiwick of Jersey comprises the island of Jersey and a number of smaller islets and rocks, most of which are covered at high tide. See List of islands of the Bailiwick of Jersey for a complete list of their smaller islands.

Les Écréhous NE of Jersey consists of two reefs which form an extensive shoal area 7 miles (11 km) long and 2.3 miles (3.7 km) wide.[3]

Les Minquiers 9 miles (14 km) S of Jersey, its largest island is only 50 metres by 20 metres, but at low water, Les Minquiers has a land area greater than 100km².

The deliberate wrecking of ships has not been a Channel Island trait, although the recovery of goods from a natural wreck has always been undertaken. Smuggling and Privateer's[4] have abounded in the Islands' waters over many centuries.

Modern navigation systems have helped reduce the number of disasters, but shipping still receive warnings of waters around the Channel Islands.[5]

1850 Polka ( United Kingdom) Minquiers On a run from Saint Malo to Jersey as a replacement ship, the Paddle Steamer sprang a leak and began to sink near the Minquiers S of Jersey on 15 September 1850. All passengers and crew took to the lifeboats and were rescued. On 15 September 1850, the steam tug Polka was hurriedly pressed into service to make the daily run to St. Malo as Superb was undergoing repairs at St. Helier. When she was about halfway to her destination, Polka sprang a leak and began to sink whereupon her master, Captain Priaulx, calmly loaded everyone into the two lifeboats and landed them safely on the nearby Mâitre Ile. Picked up and taken into St. Malo the next day, the survivors counted themselves extremely fortunate and lavished both praise and a sizeable reward upon Captain Priaulx for his admirable seamanship.[119][120]
1850 Superb ( United Kingdom) Minquiers The paddle steamer was running from Saint Malo to Jersey with 60 passengers, including survivors from the Polka ( United Kingdom) on approaching the Minquiers reef, they went to inspect where the PSS Polks had sunk, whereupon they themselves struck a rock, which caused panic and 20 people lost their lives, the rest being saved.

On 17 September, only two days after the sinking of the PSS Polka, Superb left St. Malo with sixty passengers and crew aboard, including Captain Priaulx and several of the other survivors from the Polka. As they approached the Minquiers Reef, Superbs’ mate (John Fleming) was persuaded by some of the passengers to show them where the Polka had gone down but unfortunately, as he took Superb through the so-called eastern passage, she struck a rock known as La Pointue du Blanc Roc which tore deep into her hull. In the ensuing panic to load the lifeboats, twenty people lost their lives, four of whom had barely recovered from their experiences on the sinking Polka two days previously. Ironically, Superb herself remained stranded on the rock and the survivors including, once again, Captain Priaulx, were plucked straight off the decks by the rescue ships sent out from St. Helier. As an interesting postscript, one small vestige of Superb lived on after her boilers were salvaged and subsequently installed into one of her successors, another paddle steamer, the Rose, which took her name from Thomas Rose, the owner of the company.

One of the earliest steamships operating in the waters around the Channel Islands, the Superb was owned by the Jersey Steam Packet Company of St. Helier which ran her on their scheduled Jersey to St. Malo [and Granville] mail and passenger service.[121][122]

St Helier 		The paddle steamer Paris left St Malo 28 July 1863 with 24 passengers and 12 tons of cargo, chiefly butter and eggs. She was under charge of a Jersey pilot of considerable experience named De La Cour, the day was beautiful and the sea was as smooth as a mill pond.

Shortly before 9am the steamer was observed just off Elizabeth Castle which, with the hermitage forms an outwork of rock a short distance from the entrance to Victoria Harbour, Jersey. The tide was just beginning to flow. the Captain (Hemmings) asked the pilot which passage he was going to take. The Sellette or the middle passage. The Pilot replied that he would take whichever passage the Captain chose to which the latter replied that it was not his province to interfere, adding that it was high time the pilot made up his mind. The Captain again warned the pilot of the danger which was now clearly apparent. This warning was scarcely off his lips when the vessel struck on a rock known as ´GRUNE VAUDIN´. The engines were stopped and set for astern.

It was then the captain ordered the lifeboats to be lowered. Ten minutes after the vessel struck, she went down in 5 fathoms of water. The Paris was valued at £7000 and was not insured. The masts of the sunken vessel were clearly visible from the shore.[122][125]
