SUMMARY:SS Cuvier (1900)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Cuvier was an iron screw cargo steamer built in 1883 by A. Leslie & Co.\, recorded as built at Newcastle-upon-Tyne / Hebburn. She was fitted with a two-cylinder compound engine\, two boilers\, and carried official number 87903. Sources disagree slightly on her tonnage\, with one contemporary report giving 2\,299 gross tons\, while local wreck summaries often round her to about 2\,000 tons. At the time of her loss she was on passage from Antwerp to Bahia\, Brazil\, with a general cargo that included bagged cement\, lead ingots and crockery. Not exactly treasure\, but crockery on a wreck always adds a certain dinner-service drama\, because apparently even the seabed needs plates. \nOn 9 March 1900\, Cuvier was struck on the starboard side in the Dover Strait by the Norwegian steamer Dovre\, which was bound from Burntisland to Dieppe with coal. The collision tore open her side\, flooded the engine room\, and she sank in minutes\, around 6 miles east of the East Goodwin Lightvessel. Historic England records heavy loss of life\, with sources giving 26 to 28 crew lost and only a handful of survivors picked up by the steamer Windsor. For divers\, Cuvier is a classic Goodwins-area wreck: a Victorian cargo steamer\, a sudden night collision\, a grim human story\, and a site known for recovered Maastricht-marked bowls\, mugs\, chamber pots\, portholes and crockery. It’s the kind of wreck where the artefacts make the story feel oddly domestic\, which somehow makes the tragedy hit harder.
