Description
English: The Wreck of HMS Serpent. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 29 November 1890.

Volume: 97, Issue: 2693.
Read the ILN THE WRECK OF H.M.S. SERPENT. We are indebted to Dr. H. Elliott, Surgeon of the Royal Navy, on board H.M.S. Tyne, for a view of the Punta del Buey, on the north coast of Spain, the scene of the disastrous wreck of H.M.S. Serpent on Nov. 14, and one of the neighbouring grave-yard in which the bodies of the officers and seamen are buried. The funeral service was performed on Sunday. Nov. 23. in the church of Santa Maria. at Jabina, by the Rector, the Rev. Father M. Fadregas, who had previously consecrated the burial-ground. This ground has been enclosed by a wall; and a cross. made on board H.M.S. Tyne at Corunna, by order of Commander Goodridge. R.N., was erected on Nov. 1S. when the bodies of Commander H. Ross, Mr. W. Edwards. engineer, and forty-seven men were buried there. A guard of soldiers was posted by the Spanish authorities to protect the remains of the dead, and to secure whatever came ashore from the wreck. The View of Punta del Buey. from a photograph looking seaward, shows the place where the ship struck on the reef of rocks, about 400 yards from the shore. Our Illustration last week, showing the portraits of all the officers of H.M.S. Serpent in figures grouped together, was copied from an excellent photograph taken before her departure by Mr. H. Simmons, photographic artist, of 52, Notte-street. Plymouth. whose name ought to have been mentioned with due acknowledgment of its use. 1. Rock on which the ship was wrecked. 2. Mess-table and stools from the ship. 3. Graves of forty-seven of the crew. 4. Stretchers for carrying the bodies. 5. Grave of Commander H. Ross, R.N. 6. Grave of Mr. W. Edwards, Engineer. GRAVE-YARD NEAR PUNTA DEL BUEY, WHIERE OFFICERS AND SEAMEN OF H.M.S. SERPENT ARE BURIED. C.M.Sc.
