Brisons
The Brisons ((コーンウォール語:An Gribow), meaning ''the reefs'') is a twin-peaked islet in the Atlantic situated 1 mile (1.6 km) offshore from Cape Cornwall in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 203 ''Land's End'' ISBN 978-0-319-23148-7〕
The Brisons (the name is French: brisant, 'reef, breaker') are and high and are said to resemble General Charles de Gaulle lying on his back. The rocks are connected to Gribba Point ((コーンウォール語:Pen an Gribow), meaning ''head of the reefs'') by the Guthen Gwidden reef ((コーンウォール語:Kudhen Gwydn), meaning ''white hidden one''). The gap in the reef is called the Adgiwar Gap ((コーンウォール語:Aja Wer), meaning ''green gap''). In 1878, an article in the Cornishman newspaper names the reef between the ″Brissons″ and the land as Bridges, and the reef had three gaps; the nearest known as Rose-an-pons.
In 1851, the 250 ton brig ''New Commercial'' was wrecked, striking the ledge between the Great and Little Brisons. A dramatic rescue of the surviving crew was attempted, resulting in the death of all but two of the members. As a result, the ''National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck ''(later the RNLI) established a lifeboat in Sennen Cove in 1853, where one is still based today.
During "Cape sports" an annual water sports event based on the beach at Cape Cornwall, swimming races are conducted from the Brisons back to the beach.
