Abana

This Canadian built ship flying the Norwegian flag, and three weeks out of Liverpool, floundered off the coast during 100-130mph winds (newspaper report) at Blackpool and drifted unmanageably towards Norbreck where it came aground on sandbanks at Little Bispham on 22 December 1894. Wikipedia entry. At low tide the remains of the wreck of the Abana can still be seen.

A couple of days after I posted these to a Blackpool Facebook group, Stephen Cheatley from Walk on The Wild Side went down to have a look and made this proper video. This was posted on 30 June 2021:
