The Sydney Morning Herald, 9th March 1880 :
“AT the meeting of the Marine Board, yesterday, there were present : - Captain Hixson (president), the Hon. J. B. Watt (vice-president), Captains Broomfield, M’Lean, Fox, and Jenkins, and Lieutenant Lindeman (secretary). Peter Peterson, the master of the schooner Henrietta, appeared before the board to answer the charge already preferred against him (and reported), of attempting to take his vessel into the Shoalhaven River at night time, when there was not sufficient wind to enable him to do it safely. The schooner was wrecked in the attempt, and the Board, after the circumstances of the case, determined to suspend Peterson’s certificate for the space of three calendar months, dating from the accident.”
