The small village of Flushing near Falmouth was once known as Nankersey and has a fascinating history, not least its connection to the famous Packet Ships. In 1803 one of those vessels, the Lady Hobart, hit an iceberg 350 miles from the nearest land and what followed is an amazing story of survival.
