The Royal Yacht Mary
The Royal Yacht Mary is one of the oldest wrecks around North Wales. The Dutch East India Company built her for Charles II and she was the first British royal yacht.
Driven into the coast by bad winds and fog, she wrecked on the rocks of the Skerries in the north west corner of the island in 1675.
The Earl of Meath and thirty three of the seventy three on board died. The surviving crew and passengers waited for two days on the rocks before being rescued by a vessel from Beaumaris.
