1784 wreck of British collier which stranded on the Herd Sand during a storm; a wooden sailing vessel. [the NMR has another Good Design, a craft, sinking in 1784 north of Sunderland, NMR NZ 45 NW 424. Presumably the same ship]. `Newcastle, Dec. 11, 1784...Sunday night about 9 o'clock a strong wind sprung up from the east, and about midnight the hurricane was most violent, attended with a very heavy fall of hail and show, which continued with unremitting fury till Tuesday noon, when it began to abate; but that night it blew again very hard, till Wednesday at noon, when the wind became moderate; but the snow continued at intervals till Thursday, when it fell very severe during the whole day, and continues yet at intervals… At sea it has been dreadful beyond description, all along the coast being strewed with wrecks, and vessels on ground, so that from every part we hear of nothing but distress; nor may we ever perhaps be able to get a perfect account of the loss of ships. The following is the best, which can be procured at present. The under has been sent from intelligencies, which may be depended upon...GOOD DESIGN, C Heron; ELIZABETH, Greenwell; ROBERT, A Scott, northward, lost...' {Newcastle Courant}. The Good Design was from Shields. Master: C Heron, Adamson Owner: Heron
