A starboard bow view of one of the battered metal lifeboats from the wreck of the passenger/cargo ship Mohegan (1898), lying on its starboard side on large boulders on a beach near The Lizard. The hull is badly battered on both sides and most of the thwarts inside are broken and lost. The name 'Mohegan' is painted in black capital letters on the bow.

The Mohegan left London on 13 October 1898 with 97 crew, 17 cattlemen and 53 passengers, as well as 1,280 tons of general cargo. The ship was seen passing Eddystone Lighthouse at about 5pm on 14 October, some 10-12 miles out. The ship then ran onto the Manacle rocks at about 7pm. Some 102 people lost their lives.
