Mar. 23, 1955 - Norwegian liner swept on rocks by gale. The S.S. Venus at Plymouth. The 6269 ton Norwegian liner Venus was swept on to the rocks off Mount Batten, Plymouth today by the sixty mile an hour gale which swept Southern England. The Venus is engaged on a weekly service to Madeira. She had landed 248 passengers from Madeira and Teneriffe, and was due to start the return trip this afternoon. It is not expected that the vessel can be refloated until this evening's tide. Keystone photo shows:- View of the Norwegian Liner Venus as she lay on the rocks at Mount Batten, Plymouth - today
