Event Details
A most dreadful storm of wind and snow came on at Newcastle on Wednesday night last, and continued without intermission till Thursday evening; and about three o'clock in the morning of that day, four ships belonging to Sunderland, and one to Blythe, were driven upon the Black Middens, immediately upon the wrecks of the nine vessels which were lost there a few weeks since. It is also reported, but we have not been able to learn the particulars, that in the same furious tempest, even vessels were driven on the Herd Sand.
