Description
Built in Cardiff in 1873 and weighing 140 tons, 'Ezel' was one of the few ships registered in Cardigan in the late 19th century. Over three hundred ships were registered at the port at the turn of the 19th century, but it had since then entered a period of decline, partly due to the accumulation of silt on the riverbed.
The 'Ezel' was sunk by German submarine gunfire in the English Channel in 1917.
