From the Cumberland Pacquet newspaper, Tuesday, 29th May 1860, page 8 :
" 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."
