The French trawler Jeanne Gougy was on its return journey to Dieppe in Normandy from Irish fishing grounds around Waterford when the vessel ran into trouble in bad weather and capsized at Gamper Bay between Sennen Cove and Land's End. At 5am on 3 November 1962 the Coastguard, the RNLI and a 22 Squadron Whirlwind helicopter from RAF Chivenor were called to the scene. Six out of eighteen trawlermen were rescued. Peter Lanyon's painting Wreck (1963) hangs in Tate St Ives.
