• September 1892 - Collision off the Nash - A Steamer Beached at Penarth - 'About three a.m. on Friday the steamship 'Confidence' of Londonderry, from Cardiff to Londonderry with coal, when off the Nash came into violent collision with the steamship 'No.12', bound to Newport. The impact was so heavy so as to completely flatten the stem of the 'Confidence' and the water rushed in in large volumes filling the forehold. The captain decided to run her back to Penarth with all speed which he did and eventually beached her off Penarth Head, alongside the wreck of the French steamer 'Tunisie'. Several men have been engaged during Friday temporarily repairing the vessel to enable her to be docked for repairs. It is surprising that the vessel reached so far as Penarth with the quantity of water that must have been in her hold.' - The Western Mail [164] [361] 17th September 1892.

• September 1892 - Local Shipping Casualty - 'The s.s. 'Auric', from Belfast, when coming up Channel on Thursday night, broke one of the blades of her propeller. She was taken in tow, and as there no room in Penarth Slipway she was beached at high tide near the wreck 'Tunisie' on Penarth beach. Yesterday morning her plate was repaired and she sailed next tide.' - South Wales Daily News [325] [361] 10th September 1892.
