Description
1818 wreck of English cargo vessel which grounded on the Herd Sand and then was beached nearby on her arrival from Chichester; a wooden sailing vessel. NB: This account also appears in the Durham County Advertiser, but neither this source nor the Newcastle Courant has any account of the subsequent loss of this vessel, so she was possibly recovered.
