THE LURE OF
THE LANTERN

Our Pirate Legacy

WRECKERS’ WERE CRIMINALS WHO DELIBERATELY LURED SHIPS INTO THE ROCKY COASTLINE WITH HURRICANE LANTERNS, PROMISING SAFE HARBOUR BEFORE WRECKING THE SHIPS & PLUNDERING THE CARGO.

OVER THE CENTURIES, COUNTLESS SHIPS HAVE RUN AGROUND ALONG THE TREACHEROUS COASTLINE OF PEMBROKESHIRE, ONLY TO HAVE THEIR CARGOES PLUNDERED BY THE LOCALS, WITH THE LOCAL MILITIA OFTEN BEING DEPLOYED TO FEND THEM OFF. MADE IN WALES
