The Kessingland Tragedy
A terrific storm blew suddenly out of the north-east at the end of November 1774, wrecking many ships and claiming many lives up and down the east coast. The crew and passengers of the Ann, sailing from London to Dunbar, were lucky - they made it ashore and the vessel remained in one piece. The storm, however, wasn't quite finished them.
