Harrow - a general history

Masters: 1888-90 Kirton: 1891-92 G Brooker: 1894 C Glanfield: 1895-97 RJ Smith.

Harrow left Savannah on 8 December 1897 on a voyage for Boston with a crew of 24 & a cargo of about 280 tons of cotton & phosphates. On 26 December she grounded on the South Haals, Holland. At 2am on 27 December the crew left the vessel & on 29 December she broke in two. At the inquiry it was stated that the four compasses were in good order & had been adjusted in May 1897 by Berry of West Hartlepool. The master & the 1^st mate had mistaken the Rykduin light for that of a fishing vessel. The cause of the casualty was that the vessel failed to make good the course said to have been steered from the East Goodwin, and that, not having seen the Rykduin light, the master neglected to use the lead and proceeded at full speed. The vessel was not navigated with proper and seamanlike care. The loss was caused by the default of the master, and the Court suspended his certificate for six months. It was not caused by the default of either the chief or the second officer. The Court consented to recommend the master for a mate's certificate for the duration of suspension.
