The Cumberland Pacquet, Tuesday, 29th May 1860, page

" Extract from the report of Captain Joseph Scott, of the brigantine
Fisher, of Workington, wrecked on the 18th of April, on her passage
from Swansea to Hamburg, with steam coal: " A sea struck the starboard
midships and swept the deck, carrying away stanchions and split-covering
boards. All hands at the pumps. The ship afterwards became a total wreck
on the east end of Terschelling Island, the master and four hands being
saved with difficulty. One man drowned in trying to get ashore: his name
was John Hayes, of Londonderry. A lifeboat belonging to Holland was the
means of saving five lives."
