Ann and Susannah

5 September 1833

"Whitby, Sept 2 - A violent gale from the NE came on here about 12 on Friday night last, and continued, without abatement, until Sunday night. Saturday evening the brig Alfred, of Aberdeen, in making for the harbour, went down, and all aboard are drowned: part of the wreck has since washed up, and been sold."

The Ann and Susannah went on shore at Robin Hood's Bay the same evening, and was broken up the following tide. Crew saved by the exertions of the fishermen; also part of her cargo and stores saved. The Trimmer, of Whitby, a keel belonging to Sunderland, and the Trafalgar, of Newcastle, are on shore at Staithes, north of this port. Some firkins of butter and the wreck of a boat marked Friends, of Wisbech, George Huet, have washed on shore at Stainton Dale.
