Frank Meadow Sutcliffe's photograph of the brig Mary & Agnes has been added to the lostbrig.net site, courtesy of The Sutcliffe Gallery, 1 Flowergate - Whitby - YO21 3BA - 01947 602239
This image shows the Mary & Agnes at the mercy of pounding seas off Whitby in 1885. Though the Elizabeth Jane was lost in 1854, this photograph, together with George Weatherill's watercolours of lost brigs on the coast near Whitby, strongly evoke her loss. It is hoped that evidence might yet come to light that will give further insight into the loss of the Elizabeth Jane.
