Tusker RockTusker Rock is a rock in the Bristol Channel, situated about 2 miles west of Ogmore-by-Sea, Bridgend, Wales. It is fully visible only at low tide, and was formerly a notorious hazard for ships. In 1947 the Santampa was wrecked on the rock, leading to the loss of 47 lives, including those of the lifeboat crew which attempted a rescue. Today, the waters around Tusker Rock are a popular diving location. |
