25.12.1884 - Capt McDonald brought Robin Hood around to the Eastern side of Hummock Island (in the Ferneaux Group of Islands in Bass Strait) to shelter from the gale and struck an uncharted sunken rock (see chart here), the vessel began to fill with water and the crew took to the boats. Colin made his way to Launceston where he cabled the owners (W.S. Laurie) for advice, adding that most of the cargo had been saved but the vessel had broken her back and was a total loss (both the vessel and cargo were well insured).
The board of inquiry concluded on the 29th of January 1885 "That there is no evidence to show that any blame attaches to the officers of the brig". |
