Wreck of the SS Falcon

United Kingdom / England / Saint Margarets at Cliffe /
The iron-screw steamer SS Falcon owned by the General Steam Navigation Company was wrecked off the Dover coast (Langdon Bay) in 1926. She was carrying a cargo of hemp and matches which unsurprisingly perhaps caught fire, and she grounded whilst ablaze. The remains are in surprisingly good condition after over 80 years, due to the thick steel hull. The shipwreck can be reached by descending a steep zig zag path down the Langdon cliffs.
