There have been various disasters on the neighbouring Hasselwood Rock and Helen's Reef (the latter having been named in 1830).[citation needed]

  • 1686 – a Spanish, French or Spanish-French ship ran aground around Rockall. Several men of the crew, Spanish and French, were able to reach St. Kilda in a pinnace and saved their lives. Some details of this event were recounted by Martin Martin in his A late voyage to St Kilda, published in 1698.[1] The ship was perhaps a fishing vessel based in the Bay of Biscay and bound for North Atlantic cod fisheries.[citation needed]
  • 1812 – a survey vessel Leonidas foundered on Helen's Reef.[citation needed]
  • 1824 – Brigantine Helen of Dundee, bound for Quebec, foundered on Helen's Reef with fatalities.[citation needed]
