Quay Cottage In Port Quin

I visited Quay Cottage in Port Quin a few times as a child with my family in the 1960s and 1970s. Then as an adult in the 1980s. There was an old fisherman as I understood him to be that I think was a sort of caretaker for some of Port Quins Cottages. I remember he once told me about the smugglers bringing goods up through the hole in the cave. There was a derelict cottage next to Quay Cottage if I recal and one building still intact had an old wooden door that was locked. The man told me that a French Schooner ship in my name came ashore and was wrecked at Port Quin and that the captain carved the name of the ship and a picture of it on the door. My brother and I always imagined there might be hidden treasure from the wreck in there. Our holidays felt like we were living out a Famous Five book, we loved it there so much. In the early 1980s I visited Cornwall and wanted to find out if my childhood memory of the ship with my name being wrecked there and the carving on the door were real. I found a book of wrecks in an old 2nd hand book shop in Padstow (sadly now another art shop) and to my delight I found the name of the ship wreck and then clambered up the rocks below the cottage and saw the old door off its hinges but the carvings were there so I knew my memory had served me well!
