Margaret Cunningham, of Whitby
On the 23rd July, the schooner Margaret Cunningham, of Whitby, was seen driving towards the Kettleness Reef, off the south point of Runs- wick Bay. It was blowing a gale from the N.N.E., and a heavy sea was running at the time. The life-boat Sheffield went off and brought ashore the crew of 2 men.
Immediately after the men were landed, the vessel drove on shore and became a wreck..
