Yes, the boys of Du Hag Owr (of which I am a part) have written and recorded a song about the wrecking of The Hera. She sank just by Gull Rock in Gerrans Bay and still attracts divers to her wreck site. The graves of those who died on that fateful night form the longest grave in Britain which is situated in the graveyard of St Symphorian’s Church in the little village of Veryan, a short hop inland from Nare Head. You can hear our song, “The Hera”, by visiting http://www.duhagowr.co.uk/Videos.html or buy the CD from our online shop.

The Hera was lost in Gerrans Bay near Portloe, Cornwall.
The Portloe shantymen, DU HAG OWR, have written a song dedicated to the Hera.
Go to You Tube and have a listen.
Enjoy!
