30 people were saved by local boats, but two people died as waves swamped the cutter: the unwell Lieutenant Cole, and the wife of Lieutenant Wood, the cutter's commander. The surgeon was trying to lift Mrs Wood into a boat when she fell through a hatch and drowned before she could be rescued. [2/3]

The court martial found that the pilot was to blame for mistaking his course: he was fined and barred from ever piloting HM vessels again. Both Lieutenant Wood and the Nightingale’s master were reprimanded, the latter severely, for placing too much trust in the pilot. [3/3] #RoyalNavy #NavalHistory
