Sunrise off Barry - £55
For centuries, ships entering and leaving the Bristol Channel have passed the Glamorgan coast, including the waters off Barry. This peaceful sunrise reflects the timeless maritime route that has connected Wales with the wider world.
Wreck of the Helvetia - £55
The Helvetia was carrying 500 tons of timber from New Brunswick to Swansea when severe weather prevented a pilot from reaching her. Seeking shelter in Rhossili Bay, she was blown onto the rocks beneath Worms Head. All of the crew survived, while much of the timber was salvaged or claimed by local people. Today, parts of the ship's wooden hull can still be seen beneath the sands at low tide.
Shipwreak The Brothers - £55
Tusker Rock has claimed countless ships and lives over the centuries. In 1798, the Brothers, bound from America to Bristol, struck the rock—but this time it did not win. All ten crew survived and the cargo was saved.
