歴史的注記
On January 4, 1896 this British bark was pounded unmercifully by heavy seas while attempting an inbound crossing of the Columbia River bar. The pilot had been taken aboard. The vessel suffered heavy damage and the seas were so ugly that the pilot could not be removed by the pilot schooner. Instead the damaged Britisher drifted northward at the mercy of the elements and was lost with her entire crew. The derelict later drifted as far as the British Columbia coast where it foundered.
