Glasgow, Nov. 23 [1881], according to advices from Fort William much damage was done there to shipping by the gale yesterday. A vessel with a cargo of coal sank opposite the gasworks. The DALVIE smack sank opposite the parade: the ALERT was driven ashore below the Alexandria Hotel: the AGNES, of Oban, was cast on the bank, and became a total wreck. There were no lives lost. [Record received incomplete].
NMRS, MS/829/70 (no. 5267).
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), suggesting that she was successfully repaired.
