Schooner Hannah and Eleanor Rescued from Tynemouth Haven, 7th February 1883

During violent storms, ships from miles around would turn and make for the safety of the Tyne. It was in one such southeasterly storm that the schooner Hannah and Eleanor, carrying coal from Seaham to Rochester, was caught.

The square-rigged foremast makes her a brigantine, not a schooner.

Ok but the reports from the time, including the Brigade report and the newspapers called her a schooner.
