The Deventia was a coastal trader operating around the UK coasts between 1913 and 1929. 
She was built by Williamson R & Son, Workington and the owner when she was lost was, Northwest Shipping Co Ltd, Workington.
On 12 February 1929 she was transporting a shipment of soda from Fleetwood to London when she encountered a south easterly gale. Captain Kelly was unable to control the vessel, and the ship ran aground below Bolberry Down in South Devon.  The Plymouth lifeboat eventually reached her and rescued ten of the crew. The final three were rescued from the shore using “Rocket Apparatus”.

The Deventia was eventually re-floated on a high tide but the damage was too great so she was salvaged where she went down, leaving a few bits behind foe divers to discover years later.
Today she lays in 7m of water, close to the wreck of the 1757 Dragon with some of the remains visible including her prop-shaft. The wrecks in this area are often covered in sand and exposed after storms.
