 Accidents and Incidents

 

From The Pembrokeshire Herald and General Advertiser of Friday 11th December 1891:

A DERELICT PICKED UP OFF TENBY.

        On Thursday forenoon a vessel was observed off the east point of Caldy Island being driven before the gale. She was lying across the sea with canvas gone, and apparently with no one on board. As soon as the fishing smack Jubilee was afloat she put off with a large crew, under the command of Samuel Richards (owner), and boarded the vessel, which by this time had drifted far up into Carmarthen Bay. She proved to be the fishing smack Vulture, of Brixham, which had been abandoned. She was taken in tow and brought into Tenby Roadstead late in the afternoon, and it was intended to bring her into harbour with the tide. All her canvas had been blown away and her bulwarks gone. The crew of this vessel were picked up off the Smalls and landed at Milford on Tuesday last by the steamer Lark, of Hull.
