Description: MV Alacrity, F T Everard, bound from Swansea to Brussels with anthracite dust, was wrecked in fog in Portheras Cove near Pendeen on 13 September 1963. Salvage efforts failed and she broke up. A military unit was drafted in to blow up the wreck in order to disperse it. Unfortunately the blast left sharp metal shards on the beach which are still there in 2011, together with notices advising people not to walk on the beach - see the Cornishman 17 September 1981.
