Whilst attempting to enter the harbour in wind conditions SW force 10, was thrown against the pier head and foundered within only a few yards of the mast. A lot of other vessels were attempting to enter at the same time, and the pier was full of people. One crewman managed to reach the pier via the rigging before the wreck fell over, another was drowned after being injured when the bowsprit broke. The remaining three crew members took to the rigging, but despite attempts to throw heaving lines to them from ashore, due to the force of wind, although the distance was only 30 feet, none could reach them. Their only hope therefore was the lifeboat, already engaged with the tug AID in helping other vessels. The French man o'war gun boat ST. BARBE, then drove athwart the mast of the wreck, so preventing the lifeboat getting close, but one more crewman was able to clamber into her rigging. The lifeboat saved one other, but the third man, lashed to the mast, drowned. Crew: 5 Crew Lost: 2 Passengers: 0 Date of Loss Qualifier: A Additional sources cited in United Kingdom Shipwreck Index.
