From Lost Vessels and Town Tattle of Lincolnshire
A sea disaster report notes a damaged sloop with a broken lead keel, a brig scuttled to save its hulk, and a cutter driven aground at Seaton near Hartlepool whose cargo of brandy was saved. The town also records melancholy mischief, clergy appointments, a noblewoman’s delivery, a marriage in Soho, drownings, a coroner’s inquest for an infant, a gruesome pillory scene, and multiple petty thefts.
