Rescue work by the Penarth Lifeboat - 'The Penarth lifeboat went out on Friday, and after a cruise in the channel found a vessel on the rocks near Clevedon. She proved to be the Zefiro, 680 tons, of Genoa. The officers and crew (nine men) and the captain's wife were got off and taken to Penarth, where they were cared for for the night. The Zefiro had collided with another ship.' - Evening Express [135] [361] 29th December 1900.
