Part of the mast of HMS Warspite, which, after great service in both World Wars was on her way to be scrapped when, in a huge storm she broke her tow and grounded on the Mountomopus Ledge - she then re-floated and ended up in Prussia Cove. I gather she then drifted onto the beach in Marazion where she was broken up and I think was seen by a young Scillonian Phill Deason.
Here's an old photo I found of her with the cottages and houses of Prussia Cove visible

Have had to add the word verification as I am getting lots of obscene messages in the comments
