Default Frank on Bondicar

Picked this card up the other week on evilbay.


Apparently the Norwegian Barque 'Frank' a'cropper on Bondicarr rocks. The printed paper slip of research that came with it does appear to be potentially accurate. The only thing that casts a little doubt for me are the rocks in the foreground.

The card has the Acklington postmark dated 24 Feb 09.
Sent to Mrs G. Armstrong 14 Stanley Street Blyth.
From S. or J. Brown

Your cousin Robert Armstrong is at Dr. Morrison's infirmary. Went last Thursday. Ailing since September not operated on yet.
Annie staying at Newcastle.
J. Brown.
This is the ship we have had ashore here. Will write later.
