The Three Ships rock formation so named because from a certain angle they look like the bows of three Ships. If you go up close to them you will see that they have names carved into them, Victory, Defiant and Royal Soverin (thats how its spelt) all ships commanded by Nelson during the Napoleonic Wars.

Great for a scramble, these rocks have been carved with the names of Nelsons ships Victory, Defiance and Royal Sovereign (spelt incorrectly!)
