DOMENICO CATANESE NAPOLI 1890@

[Tintagelboy]

please can anyone help me find any information on Domenico Catanese who was shipwrecked off Cornwall England in 1893 on the ship IOTA

[PeterTimber]

You mean sinking of the vessel SS SCIOTA in 1893, cornwall, England? =Peter=

[PeterTimber]

There is no Iota nor Sciota or scotia. There were only two ships lost off the english coast in1893 was theSS Naronic and the SSWetherby and no others so far. Sorry. Will keep looking. =Peter=

I have found this...

In the other direction you can walk to Tintagel past St Materiana's Church (The Oldest Church in Cornwall) and the ruins of the legendary King Arthur's Castle arriving at Bossiney the scene of a famous ship wreck in 1893. The Iota's cabin boy who perished is buried in the church yard and has his grave marked with a life belt from the ship.

I will send you the link via PM

Livio I am amazed that you found a reference to the Iota sinking in the advertisement for the Atlantic View Hotel in Tintagel, Cornwall on what to do and see if you stay there with a Cabin boy (unamed) buried there with a life saving ring from the Iota!!!

You must have had a wild date the night before to find this one! Congratulations,.=Peter=

[Tintagelboy]

Yes it must be SS SCIOTA I have an original lifering from the wreck and I was very interested in the story and I would love to find a picture of this ship thanks for all your help so far

[PeterTimber]

write to the hotel and ask them if they have one handy or the address for the library nearby and ask if they have one avilable. How did you get the lifering since there is one onthe grave so it says in the hotel advertisement?? =Peter=

[Tintagelboy]

The life ring on the grave is a made up one from canvas I also have some parts from the wreckage , I have since been told that the ship was defently IOTA not SS SCOITA ,
The boy who perished was Domenico Catanese he was approx 14 years old in 1893

I will keep trying any ideas of any other links ?

[PeterTimber]

I advised you to write to the hotel and ask them for the information you are seeking. =Peter=

You may (but almost certainly will) find information on the ship and the shipwreck from the Lloyds Register in London. Here are some links on how to go about this:

>If you know the name of a ship<

>Using the Registers<

>Shipping Information Sheets<

Good Luck!
