The reason I posted this photograph is because I love it, now gentlemen or ladies can you tell me anything about it? Fred Brunskill tells us: ”The brig ‘John and Mary’ left Portsmouth for Sunderland carrying ballast when she was forced ashore at Saltburn on 28th October 1880.” Vanessa Liddle asks: “My great grand father was drowned in a brig from Seaham called VINTAGE which ran into difficulties on Saltscar rocks does anyone have any information. A storm on October 10th 1881 . This is all I have managed to find out . Any information would be appreciated.”
