LOST AT SEA AS CAPTAIN OF THE JAMES SATTERTHWAITE ALONG
WITH HIS BROTHER WILLIAM P.LANK
The schooner JAMES SATTERTHWAiTE was built at Milton in l860,and was a large 2
master vessel.
In late December of 1883 it sailed from Wilmington,De.,with a cargo of
fertilizer for Wilmington, N.C. On the night of January 8, 1884 it was recorded
that a strong southeast gale, accompanied by heavy seas existed on the coast of
N.C. It is suspected that the ship floundered during that storm and disappeared
with all hands aboard.
