Yet another Collina!
Like buses, you wait a lifetime; then two, and then a third comes along. First Read's Collina/Colina, then the Bideford Collina, and now the Penzance Collina. From the records of English Heritage we read of the wreck of an English cutter which in 1871 caught fire following an explosion of her petrol cargo caused by a collision with another vessel which ignored instructions forbidding any other vessels to moor nearby. She was a sailing vessel, constructed in 1860 of wood with iron bolts. See Collina at English Heritage's 'PastScape'.
