The Brig Friendship Ventures Ashore Near Glasgow Harbour
The brig Friendship of Whitehaven, Captain Welsh, en route from Dublin to this port in ballast, ran ashore on the sands near the harbour after misreading coastal lights. The crew escaped in their boat despite heavy surf, and rescue depends on moderate weather to refloat her. Reports warn that deceptive lime kiln and coal-pit lights have long caused shipwrecks near Scottish coasts.
