Yet more wrecks:
Newcastle Courant 25 March 1786:

"A small brig called the Betsey and Nelly, said to belong to Mr Smith of Sunderland, is on shore at Amble Sands, but expected to be got off the next Spring Tides. People all saved;
The Betsey of Sunderland, said to belong to Mr Hay, of that place, is on shore to the north of Warkworth, and expected to be got off again:
Another small vessel, supposed to belong to Mr Dodd of Sunderland, drove to pieces, near the Betsey, and all perished."
