The Late Destructive Gale of Wind: sketch at the mouth of the Tyne - wreck of the Atlantic, 1881. 'Partial visitations of sudden and violent gales have been repeated on different sides of the island, and several disasters have occurred along the seacoast... We have received from South Shields, opposite Tynemouth, the Sketch of the scene there on the 16th October, in the evening, when the steamer Atlantic was wrecked against the south pier... On the Berwickshire coast, a hundred and seventy fishermen have perished, with their boats. On Wednesday and Thursday last week, there were fresh gales of a violent character, with more destruction of shipping and of life at sea'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
