Description
22nd November 1848: GEORGE of South Shields wrecked on the Black Middens.
NB: This may be a revised or variant account of the loss of the GEORGE of Sunderland a week earlier. The NMR has another entry for George on the Herd Sand 1848 (NZ 36 NE 734 1362228). No further information has been given. We are assuming these are the same ship.
