SS Cuvier (1900)
Dover Marina Esplanade, Dover, Kent, United KingdomSS Cuvier was carrying cargo for Brazil when SS Dovre tore into her near the Dover Strait in 1900. Within five minutes she had gone, leaving three survivors clinging to a capsized boat and at least 26 men lost in one of the Channel's sharpest civilian wreck tragedies.

SV Mindora (1864)
Dover Marina Esplanade, Dover, Kent, United KingdomHer career was brutally short. On 28 November 1864, Mindora collided in the English Channel with the Khersonese, another outward-bound sailing ship, reportedly on passage from London to Calcutta. Contemporary shipwreck listings place the collision about 8 nautical miles south-west by west of South Foreland, with Mindora sinking and the other vessel abandoned in a sinking condition. For divers, this is a proper Victorian mystery wreck: a young barque lost almost as soon as her story began, a collision in one of the world’s busiest sea lanes, and a seabed site that still gives up small clues from a long-vanished age of sail.
