An eyewitness letter from Yarmouth dated March 18 recounts the sinking of HMS Invincible after striking a sand bank. Of about 400 aboard, 195 were saved while most officers including the captain perished, with dramatic scenes as boats and launches battled the sea.
The Invincible struck a bank between two and three in the afternoon and remained near it for about three hours. After the mizen-mast and then the main-mast were cut away the ship sank deeper into seventeen fathoms. The crew, saved by a fishing-smack, moved aboard and returned to the wreck. A collier later rescued all aboard. The fishing-smack with the admiral aboard could not aid further and waited through Monday.
