>From Stranraer and Wigtown Free Press July 22, 2010 "The Way We Were" July 19th, 1860 Early on Saturday morning last, as the smack Hertford, of Belfast, was passing Lochryan en route to Glasgow, the attention of one of the crew was suddenly directed to the master, Matthew McLean, by his giving a deep moan; on going to his assistance he found that he was dead. The mate at once brough the vessel into Cairnryan bay, and came to Stranraer to give particulars of the sad event. From the investigation which Dr Fleming made of the case, we learn that deceased had been in delicate health and under medical treatment for some time, and that the cause of death valvular disease of the heart. Mr McLean is a native of Stranraer, and leaves a widow. His remains were brought on shore, and interred in Leswalt churchyard on Sabbath.
