The British shipwreck that changed the world By Keith Drew 30th July 2021 One of the worst disasters in British maritime history, the wrecking of HMS Association led to two acts of parliament and the establishment of longitude. O Our boat was only half a dozen miles out of St Mary s, the main island in the Isles of Scilly, but the sea had become a different beast entirely. The waters that lulled against the harbour walls were long gone, and as we arced around the Western Rocks – a notorious cordon of razor-sharp skerries at the very south-westerly reaches of England – the swell surged. Waves slapped against the bow as the boat keeled to and fro. The water was the colour of midnight, and I peered into the darkness for a sign of the HMS Association, one of 1,000 shipwrecks that lie splintering into the seabed around Scilly.
