This worksheet was generated to prompt and guide Welsh Baccalaureate students through an exploration of historic documents held by Pembrokeshire Archives. The documents include the Port Shipping Registers for Cardigan and Milford Haven, parish burial records and census returns.

The tasks relate to CHARLES HOLMES, JOHN SAINT BARBE, ABEONA, TRUE BESS and MATHILDIS. All vessels either wrecked on the Pembrokeshire coast during the storm of 25-26 October 1859, or which were registered at Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire ports (i.e. Milford Haven and Cardigan). Their stories are featured in the Great Storm of 1859 collection.
