About this event

Join museum curator Kate Hale on a half days walk around St. Agnes to hear the history of some of the island’s most noted shipwrecks dating back to the 1500s.

Shipwrecks were a defining aspect of Scillonian life for hundreds of years and during this rare opportunity, Kate will point out the site of wrecks and tell you the sometimes sad, dramatic or heroic stories of their demise. The walk will end with a visit to the pop-up Shipwreck exhibition at St. Agnes Island Hall. Return is dependent on boat times.
