SS Pelinaion Shipwreck

Pelinaion History:

Built in 1907 at Port Glasgow and originally named the Hill Glen, this large cargo steamer with a 50-foot beam changed ownership numerous times before she was purchased by a Greek shipping company and given the name, the Pelinaion, in 1939. The following year, the ship was carrying a cargo of manganese and iron ore from West Africa to Baltimore. Because of World War II, the British had blacked out the lighthouse in a bid to stop the Germans from spying on Bermuda. Without the lighthouse to guide him, Captain Janis Valikos – who had sailed past Bermuda many times before and was on his final voyage before retirement -- couldn’t find the island until he ran aground a mile from Copper’s Island near St. David’s Head. The Pelinaion split into two sections on January 16, 1940.
