Three trawler wrecks

[BarryJ]

I'd be grateful if anyone could give me details of the following trawler losses:

SKART Foundered off Lundy, 26 Aug 1902
TRIUMPH Wrecked at Padstow, 23 Dec 1918
DORIS Sank after explosion and fire (position unknown), 7 Jan 1983

I assume that SKART and TRIUMPH should be in "Shipwreck Index of the British Isles", Vol.1 (which I don't have access to), while DORIS doesn't appear to be in the Index to Volumes 1-5 of the "Shipwreck Index", and neither is she in Vol.6 (Ireland).

Hi Barry

The Shipwreck Index says TRIUMPH, 48 tons, Milford Haven registered fishing ketch, was lost 19 november 1916 on Padstow's Doom Bar. SKART, 23 tons, foundered after springing a leak 26 August 1902 25 miles west north west of Lundy. Voyage Milford Haven and return, fishing, 7 crew. She's described as a Milford Haven registered sailing fishing vessel but the text describes her as having screw propulsion. No record of DORIS in the Shipwreck Index.
