Wonder if the wreck of this one is still there?:
Amble, Feb. 5 [1865]-The Steamtug Ellen Brown, of this port, on the night of 2nd inst,
proceeded to sea to render assistance to a vessel riding in a very dangerous position
near to Bondicar, and on returning, those on board found the sea had become so strong
as to prevent them taking the harbour. They therefore proceeded into Coquet Roads,
and brought up under the lee of that island, and were landed the following day by the
light-Keeper’s boat. On Saturday morning the steamer had disappeared, having
gone down at her anchors.
