Its the 'Star of Hope' which was wrecked in a storm in 1883. She was outward bound from Wilmington North Carolina USA with a cargo of raw cotton when she was caught in a WSW force 10 gale in the Mersey approaches.The crew of 9 abandoned ship and were taken on board the Crosby lightship.
The wreck is actually situated between Ainsdale beach and Formby Point

I'm afraid not but, if there was one, it must have been a long time ago, since Southport is quite a way from the sea these days.
Kris - why would there be a question about N.Carolina in UK questions and answers/Liverpool?

This would be a good time to pop in the Google Earth programme dated 2007. I've got one but, honestly, I'm
not inclined to quit the UK and return home this second.
