The wreck of the Scarborough built barque S.S.Juno took place close to the Hard Lewis Rock, in the Isles of Scilly, on or about 2nd January 1797. No reference to this ship appears in island records, and its presence on the seabed was unknown until found by complete chance by Steve Burrows, in 1970.

It is assumed that all 17 crew of the 330 ton ship perished, a fate they shared that same night with 10 men from the brig 'Albion', also wrecked off Scilly, which has yet to be found. The collection is a cross section of the 'Juno's' remains.

The Waterford Company's S.S. Gipsey left Bristol on the 12th May 1878, but in navigating the River Avon became stranded beam-on to the tidal stream on a falling tide and broke her back.

The wreck was an obstruction to river traffic in and out of the port and was later demolished with explosives.

The wreck had one of the largest losses of life, this image shows one of the mass burials.

Some artefacts here are 100 years old and are varied in content, with crockery, a port hole and various equipment from the vessel, as well as the makers' base plate which appeared on deck level at the base of the mast.

At 3.30am on 26th March 1997 , the bulk carrier container feeder vessel 'Cita', despite its extensive radar equipment and alarm systems, ran full-speed onto rocks on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Everyone on board was asleep including the Mate who was on watch. The vessel had passed Land's End and had continued on for a further 24 miles crossing two major shipping routes.

Quickly listing to starboard and filling with water, she was half underwater by daybreak, her containers floating off with the tide. All her crew were rescued with only one suffering a broken leg. Within 14 days the wreck broke in half and sank. She now lies in 35m of water off Porth Hellick.
