On the 12th of March 1989, the Secil Japan was enroute from Aveiro to Liverpool when her steering collapsed of the North Cornish Coast. As darkness fell, battered by huge waves and 55knot winds, the Secil Japan was pushed ever closer to the Cornish cliffs and finally ended up wedged in the Hell’s Mouth.
There have been cases where curious sightseers have fallen to their death, being further drawn into "Hell's Mouth" trying to see Seals which rest on the beach below.(CAUTION DO NOT GET TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE).
