'''''The Dread''''' was a large [[steam]]-powered ship, fuelled by burning [[oil]]. The ship could carry over 240 tonnes of oil on a single journey, and boasted three large funnels for the steam produced by burning the oil to escape from. It was almost 200 feet long, and had at least twelve [[Bedroom|bedrooms]], a mess room, a [[Galley kitchen|galley]], and an [[engine room]] on its lower decks. | '''''The Dread''''' was a large [[steam]]-powered ship, fuelled by burning [[oil]].

In [[1897]], ''The Dread'' caught fire in [[Cardiff Bay]]. The resultant blaze destroyed any trace of the ship and its crew, and the oil spilling into the water created a large [[ecological disaster]]. Thousands of [[Bird|birds]], including entire populations of cormorants, guillemots, razorbills, [[Puffin|puffins]], and kittiwakes, were killed across a 122-mile stretch of [[Wales|Welsh]] [[Coast|coastline]].

In [[2008]], a facsimile of ''The Dread'' was produced by a [[sentient element]] which could mimic any shape almost perfectly. After travelling to [[21st century]] [[Cardiff]] through [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|the Rift]], the element took the form of the ship in order to reach the shore.
