About this site
The Royal Charter wreck lies off the coast of Anglesey in North Wales, near Moelfre, where the ship was lost in a violent storm in 1859 while returning from Australia with gold-rush passengers and cargo. The site sits close to the rocky shoreline that gave the wreck its notoriety, as the ship broke apart against the coast in one of the worst maritime disasters of the era. Little remains of the original structure today, scattered by time and the sea, but divers exploring the area have reported bottlenose dolphins passing through, along with small-spotted catshark, common sea stars, plumose anemones, dead man's fingers, and European green crab among the rocks and remains.
