General History:
10/06/1889:
Barque ROSALIND, of Grimsby, bound WSW, spoken 2 June, 49 N, 7 W (off Western approaches). All well.
(York Herald)

21/11/1889,
Feared steel barque Rosalind; Capt. Russel, owned by Messrs Sutcliffe of Grimsby, which left Aspinwall 10 weeks ago for Mexico, hs been lost with all hands (10). A few days after she sailed a cyclone swept over the locality, many vessels floundered, and it is supposed ROSALIND must have met a similar fate, being more than 2 months overdue.
