Thought you might like to know the wrecked ship is quite recent. It is/ was the M/V Fedra, a Liberian-registered bulk-carrier cargo ship. It ran aground and smashed against Europa Point, the southernmost tip of Gibraltar on 10 October 2008 following severe gale force winds measuring 12 on the Beaufort scale... a touch more than the force 5 you experienced! You can read all about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Fedra Oh... and the bay where HMS Victory was docked (and Nelson's pickled body landed) after Trafalgar, is called Rosia Bay! Hope you enjoyed your visit to Gibraltar, despite the wig threatening winds... come again soon! :) Saludos! Hi
