 Accidents and Incidents

Log book entries:

 

07.12.1896

I was fishing in Dundrum Bay.  Owing to bad weather, I hove up my gear at 4.00 and lay to till about about 7.00, when I steamed inshore and dropped anchor between 10.00 and 11.00.  I was boarded by the coastguards, who ordered me to heave up the anchor.  They placed a man on the bridge and took charge of my vessel.  He took her off Newcastle and brought her up.  They took my gear off the starboard side and summoned me for fishing within the limits.  When the tide fell the ship bumped considerably.  I have not yet ascertained what damage she has sustained.
