The (London) Standard, 14 Feb 1871, carries a report from Bridlington naming several of the vessels lost during the storm. Papers found on one of the recovered bodies appeared to identify the "Lavinia" of Rochester. Contemporary sailing reports would suggest several vessels of that name trading around UK waters, but I don't see any with a Hindson as Master.
