1829 wreck of English cargo vessel which stranded near Sunderland during a storm, while at anchor offshore and having cast her ballast; a wooden sailing vessel. `On Tuesday a dreadful storm arose at NE, and several light ships having come to anchor in Sunderland Roads (the greater part of which had cast their ballast) they were consequently placed in the most dangerous situation. In the morning of Wednesday the gale increased and several of the vessels, unable to ride out the storm, even after cutting away their masts, drove on shore either on the rocks near the harbour, or on the sands near Hendon. Therefore before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the shore presented the melancholy spectacle of 13 stranded vessels - some went to pieces immediately...Happily, up to this period no lives were lost...The beach is covered with wreck and wrecked materials...ADRIATIC of Shields, gone to pieces...' {Durham County Advertiser 17-OCT-1829, No.789 Page 3}.
