12/02/1845:
The clipper schooner QUEEN OF THE TYNE, Masson Master; from Aberdeen with cargo of paving stones and herrings, bound for Newcastle, came onshore at Gosswick Rigg, Friday 31 January, about 8 o'clock. At time of accident slight snow shower was falling, but otherwise calm and event was attributed by Master to some irregularity in ship's compass. There were on board 8 crew and 3 passengers, who after remaining with vessel until receding tide, walked onshore. She remains on beach, which is fortunately of pure sand and, should wind moderate, she is likely to be got off.
