Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox islands Hasselwood Rock is a skerry adjacent to Rockall in the North Atlantic.

Position and characteristics

The upper part of Hasselwood Rock is the destroyed cone of an extinct volcano, some Шаблон:Cvt north of the larger outcrop of Rockall.[1]

The rock is approximately Шаблон:Cvt above low water, and Шаблон:Cvt in diameter, with an area of approximately Шаблон:Cvt. It is covered at high tide and in heavy seas, often only visible as breaking waves. The only other rocks in the area, those of Helen's Reef, are almost Шаблон:Cvt to the north-east.

Expeditions and landings have not been reported. The geological composition is unknown.[1]

SS Norge disaster

In 1904, the SS Norge ran aground on the Rock in foggy weather with the loss of over 635 lives. The sinking remains the worst maritime disaster involving a Danish merchant ship, and was at the time the worst civilian disaster in the Atlantic Ocean until the sinking of the Titanic eight years later.[2][3]
