Accidents and Incidents

From the Haverfordwest & Milford Haven Telegraph, Wednesday 1st April 1896:

LOSS OF THE "LAUREL". ― The steam trawler "Laurel", belonging to Mr. W. Wolfe, whilst fishing off the Saltees Islands  on Sunday afternoon, filled and sank, owing, it is believed, to the stern tube giving out.  The crew took to the boat, and was picked up by the steam trawler "Lark", who landed them at Waterford.  They returned to Milford on Tuesday.
