March 1891 - Hull Smack 'Emerald' was fishing in the North Sea, about 200 miles from Spurn Point, when she was run into by the smack 'Dr. Livingstone'. As 'Emerald' began sinking the crew jumped overboard, 3 men were rescued by the 'Dr. Livingstone', the skipper Henry Hewitt Page picked up by the smack 'Ernest William', one of the crew drowned. The rescued crew were taken to London on the steam cutter 'Onward'.
December 1895 - The 'Amy' was off the Dutch coast when the gale swooped down upon her. Whilst hove to, she suffered severe damage. The smack 'Tartar' of Hull offered assistance and later she became damaged. Eventually the Yarmouth smack 'Pomona' arrived and sent a boat to rescue the crew of five and returned to Yarmouth.
August 1907 - About daybreak yesterday morning the Hull Steamer 'Dynamo', Captain Clifford, on route to Antwerp collided with the Hull Steam Trawler' Quail', which was anchored in the River Humber near Killingholme due to bad weather. The skipper W. Lewis, of the 'Quail' was killed in his berth by the 'Dynamo' stem, and J. Nocoline, third hand was drowned. The 'Quail' sank in a few minutes, but the remaining members of the crew were rescued. October 1907 - Judgment in the Board of Trade inquiry at Hull into the sinking of the steam trawler 'Quail' by the Wilson Liner 'Dynamo' was given. The court found that the 'Quail' did not take up a safe and proper anchorage, and that there was no neccessity for the skipper of the 'Quail' to bring the trawler to an anchorage at all. A good and proper lookout was kept on the 'Quail', but not on the 'Dynamo'. The 'Quail' was salvaged from a depth of 70 ft. 'Quail' Iron Screw Trawler built North Shields 1897 registered Hull 1899, official No. 108531, 106 x 21 x 11 ft, 42 tons, 41 h.p. 1900 owned by Kelsall Brothers & Beeching Ltd.

The last three are paid weekly wages, the cook receives 10s a week and his food, the deck hand 14s and the third hand £1 a week. The skipper and second hand are paid by a share in the proceeds of the trip, and have also to find themselves in in rations or contribute for their share. The smack being provisioned for the trip, the bills of the butcher, grocer etc. are collected on the return, and the total amount divided by five. of this the skipper and the second hand pay one fifth each and the owner the remainder on behalf of the other hands. In a prolonged voyage, when provisions run short, the supplies are brought by the cutters plying between the fleet and Hull.

She is the property of Mr. Robert Huntley, of Greenwich and is now loading at Garmoyle with five eels. The 'Thetis' is the largest smack, out of London, for deep sea fishing purposes, she is 84 x 16 x 11 ft, 87 tons register. It is calculated to carry alive 3,000 codfish or 40,000 eels.

April 1865 launched on Wednesday last a hansomely modelled Trinity pilot cutter, copper bottomed, was launched from the Rock Channel Ship-yard of Messrs Hoad Brothers. From her bow being ornamented with a Mermaid, it is conjected she will bear that name.

November 1865 A very beautiful cutter, for the Honourable Corporation of the Trinity House, has just been launched from the Rock Channel Yard of Messrs. Hoad Brothers, Rye, this making the fourth vessel built by this firm for that corporation. This cutter is 51 tons register, and is intended for the pilot station at Dover.
March 1866 A few days since, intelligence was received here, that John Stevens had died suddenly on board the 'Burton Constable' a new smack, which deceased and others were taking to Hull, in Yorkshire. They sailed from this port on the 8th inst. and Stevens death occured off Yarmouth. He was a married man without family and was employed by Messrs. Hoad Brothers, ship-builders, as a rigger.
April 1866 Two more fine smacks have been built from Rock Channel and Winchelses Road ship yards of Messrs. Hoad, Brothers, the first named 'Win' and the second the 'Polly' both belonging to the port of Hull. These handsomely modelled craft are constructed, launched, rigged and sent to their destination in an incredibly short space of time, thereby giving the greatest satisfaction to numerous owners who employ them.
30th July 1866 launched by Messrs. Hoad Brothers at Rye a fine clipper brigantine, called the 'Vivandiere' of Brixham, 330 tons burthen intended for the foreign trade. She is the property of Messrs Penny, Guzwell and Co.
October 1866 a beautiful-modelled brigantine of 190 tons register to carry 330 tons, was launched from the Winchelsea Road Shipyard of Messrs. Hoad, Brothers. The launch was effected in capital style and as the vessel was gliding majestically into the water she was named the 'Katie', in the orthadox manner by Miss M. A. Hoad, daughter of Mr. Lewis Hoad, one of the firm. She is the property of Messrs. Balkwill, King & Co. of Salcolme. She is intended for the foreign trade and will be commanded by Captain King.
November 1866 Another fine fishing smack was launched from the extensive ship-building premises of Messrs. Head, Brothers. She is named the 'Sarah Head' of Hull.

February 1870 the 'Alarm' of Rye belonging to Messrs. Hoad Brothers, of Rye has experienced some amount of damaged during the recent gales, and has been compelled to put into Shields Harbour, she has now arrived safely in port at Rye.
May 1870 A very fine smack named the 'Mary Grace' was launched from the Winchelsea Road yard of Messrs. Hoad Brothers, she is the property of Mr. Evens, of Hull. last week was launched from the same yard another smack named the 'Motto' the property of Mr. Rice, also from Hull.
October 1870 The brigatine named 'Zillah' the property of Messrs. Hoad Brothers, ship builders of Rye, was run down at Orford Ness on Monday night by a steam vessel. It is good to know that the crew was saved. She was in ballast at the time and having recently discharged her cargo.
May 1871 On Thursday last the splendid brigantine 'Zouave' of Rye was launched from the shipyard of Messrs. Hoad Brothers, after being thoroughly over-hauled and copper-bottomed. The launch took place about 10 a,m, when the vessel glided into the water. A slight hitch occured by a portion of her rigging getting entangled with some posts which had been used alongside to fix the scaffolding required in carrying on the necessary alterations. The posts were snapped asunder and one of the cross stays was torn from the mast and hung by the chain slings. We believe the vessel is the property of Messrs. Hoad Brothers, and is intended for the foreign trade.
September 1871 During a heavy southerly gale on Wednesday the brigantine 'Cyrus' belonging to Messrs. Hoad Brothers, Rye, Mr. Philips master, while running for harbour, grounded outside the East Pier, and as the tide rose she filled. The crew took to the bowsprit and hoisted signals of distress and the National Lifeboat Institution's boat, the 'Abert Frederick Fitsroy', manned by coastguardsmen put off to the rescue. Although heavy seas she rescued eight men and a boy and landed them at Rye.

The information was sent from Harbour Grace, bearing date May 13th and stated that she was on a passage from Liverpool to that place, when she stranded at Ochre Pit Point, where she will become a total wreck and the cargo will be lost. A steamer has been sent to her assistance. No reference was made in the message as to the safety of the crew. Mr James C. Hoad has a son on board.
December 1874 last Friday morning the brigantine 'Delight' official No.20216, 93 tons register laden with coals from the North bound for Southampton came ashore and went to pieces about half way between the Blatchington Battery and Sleaford.
