Notes A lifeboat was launched from Ramsey and rescued the crew without loss and the second engineer managed to reach shore safely. The crew were all Fleetwood men.
In the days that followed, onshore winds pushed the Cevic right under the cliffs until she lay firmly wedged between the rocks with a list to port. The starboard side was badly damaged with several large holes as well as other damage and she became a total loss. Traces of her remains can be found there today.
