The trawler Striver, of Great Yarmouth, was being towed into the harbour by a steam-tug at about 8.45 on the morning of the 25th October, during a N.E. to N.N.E. wind, squally weather, and a heavy sea. When crossing the bar, the tug came into collision with a brig which was in tow of another steamer. This caused her to stop her engines, and the trawler was caught by a heavy sea and dashed against the stern of the tug, having her bow store in. To avoid being stranded on the " Mouse-Trap," the trawler's tow-rope was cast off; she starboarded her helm and wore round, narrowly escaping collision with the South Pier. It was then found that she was sinking, and the crew of six men therefore got into their boat. The Mark Lane Life-boat, which had been promptly launched, proceeded to their assistance and tried to save the vessel; but all efforts failed, and as she was rapidly filling, the coxswain ordered all hands into the Life-boat. Five minutes afterwards the trawler went down bow first..
