Can any one help out with the fate of the Brig Amelia O.N 5269, 142 tons registered in Stockton. The Pyman Story by P. Hogg & H. Appleyard, states that she was built in Hull in 1832. Acquired 14/1/1860 (By G Pyman). Lost on Redcar Beach October 1861 in a great storm having been washed off the gridiron in West Harbour. Amelia O.N 5269 is listed in MNL 1864 ? other info suggests her register closed in January 1864. I can't find a News paper report for her loss. What I Would like is to connect this Amelia to Mr Pyman and find out if she survived the encounter with the Redcar Beach ? if she did what did become of her ?. I am aware that some vessels remained on the register for a time but three years on the MNL seems too long. Mick O Rourke www.irishshipwrecks.com

Hi Peter Two birds one stone, The article confirms her loss in 61 and ownership by Mr Pyman . Its odd that she remained in the register so long after wards. Thanks for your help.
