Zantman's Rock

Zantman's Rock

Zantman's Rock is located 34 miles to the west of Land's End, Cornwall, and six miles away from the Isles of Scilly. Viewed from a distance, it is barely visible on the surface of the waters. It is 2 miles north of Bishop's Rock Lighthouse. Between Zantman and Bishop's Rock Lighthouse are the Crim Rocks. Zantman's Rock has been the cause of at least one famous shipwreck: the Susanna, on 14 August 1913. The wreckage still lies on the southwestern side of Zantman's Rock.
