What would be the location of this grounding ?, (Scilly Isles?) she apparently came off because she sailed until the 1950's (not under this name)

Thomas Rose/ Rose Shipping went into liquidation in 1917 but their ship Braeside was sold to Harris Bros. of Falmouth in 1915 and renamed Falmouth Castle. In 1923 transferred to Falmouth Castle Shipping of Bristol.
1927 sold to 'Soc. Anon. Les Caboteurs Algériens', of Algiers & renamed Cartenée. 1928 sold to Société Algérienne de Navigation pour l'Afrique du Nord', also of Algiers, & renamed Ville de Ténès.
So if its Braeside (built 1909) the photo date/ name is wrong ... it does say circa 1919 so could it be "Rose" ship grounding pre 1915.
Finally wrecked 1951 after serving as WWII auxiliary minesweeper and possible conversion to wine tanker.

More convincing this is Braeside .. funnel markings and size of name/spacing on bow.

No reports of BRAESIDE ever going ashore in Cornwall have been found. FALMOUTH CASTE was put on the beach on 17 March 1919, when sinking after striking a rock, and the crew were saved. She was eventually refloated on 1 April after bottom damage was patched and towed to Penzance.

The name on bow is only one word
