Bernado 1888

Valhalla - Bernardo 1888

The Bernardo was an Italian barque of 701 tons that had gone ashore on Annett. All crew except the captain were lost. Captain Dapelo swam to Old Woman's Rock from where he was rescued by islanders from St Agnes.

This figurehead apparently represents St Bernard of Clairvaux and its design is actually part of a billet-head.
