Anne

14th December 1859

The Dutch schooner "Anne" of Delfayl came ashore at about 2 in the afternoon. Having left Shields at two the previous day with a cargo of coals for Harlingen in Holland. The crew consisting of Master and three men, were saved by a fishing coble, which put off under very hazardous conditions. The Master Johannes Japs Lodewykes reports that four hours after leaving the Tyne the wind changed and stormy weather came on. The ship sprang a leak and although the pump was kept at work, the water gained on them. After becoming thoroughly exhausted the crew decided to run on shore.

The cargo was saved and the vessel sold by auction but will probably become a wreck.
