The outline of a vessel marked' WRECK' is shown on a map of the coastline from the Lourghor to the Tywi in Carmarthen record office c. 1850 (copy in photo table). The wreck was in an area cut off by the construction of the South Wales Railway which in the post WWII period was used as an ash lagoon for the Burry Port Power Station. This land was subsequently reclaimed in the late 1980s. The likelihood of the wreck surviving this activity is slim. (TAJ March 1999).
