Catherina Regina
The brig Catherina Regina, of Riga, went ashore in Druridge Bay during very stormy weather on the morning of the 7th December. On information of the occurrence being received at the Life-boat Station, the boat was conveyed on her carriage to the scene of the wreck. She was then launched, through a very heavy surf, and with great difliculty and danger proceeded to the vessel, which was found to have lost both her masts, and took off her crew of eight men. She then remained by her half an hour, waiting for the master and his wife, but they positively refused to quit the ship. They were subsequently taken off by the rocketapparatus. The brig became a total wreck..
