Question

But our ICT teacher must be trying to trick us becuase we need pictures of it, but the ship dosnt seem to really exist... was it renamed? If so, what to? Also where can I get pictures?

Answer 1

One of the biggest shipwrecks of all times took place on this shore, when the two British ships of the line HMS St. George and Defence were wrecked in 1811, with a loss of 12 - 1300 men.

The information above was found at the website below at the strandingsmuseum site:

The first permanent photograph was made in 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce using a sliding wooden box camera made by Charles and Vincent Chevalier in Paris

St George: The 7th ship to bear this name, Built 1840, A 1st rate.
HMS St George (86 guns) was a conversion of an existing two-decker, originally launched in 1840 but modified in 1858-59. Such ships were not quite as effective as new construction but enabled a rapid increase in the strength of the steam battle line at a time of growing tension with France.
