Zantman's Rock near left margin
Zantman's Rock is located 34 miles (55 km) to the west of
Bishop Rock Lighthouse, and about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) northeast of the Crim Rocks
.
The name "Zantman's Rock" is recorded on an Admiralty chart of 1860. Before then, it appears not to have been distinguished from the Crim Rocks a short distance to the southwest.[1] Several legends attempt to explain the name of the rock, one of which involves a Dutchman being shipwrecked and finding himself in the unlikely position of clinging on to the rock.[1]
Zantman's Rock has been the cause of at least one famous shipwreck: that of the Susanna, on 14 August 1913. The wreckage still lies on the southwestern side of Zantman's Rock.
