The Argus, 18th June 1864 :
“The barque Pacific, Chase, master, from Auckland, for Newcastle (belonging to Osborne, Cushing and Co., Melbourne), and the ketch Sarah, were totally wrecked on Sunday, at Crookhaven. A man was drowned with each vessel.”
The Argus, 28th June 1864 :
“THE KETCH SARAH. - This little craft in running for Shoalhaven on Saturday, the 11th instant, a heavy sea broke on board, which carried away her jigger, and swept overboard the man at the tiller, and before another hand could get aft she slewed round, and, being unmanageable, went speedily onshore on the North Head of Shoalhaven. She was the joint property of Mr. Emmott, of Moruya (where she was bound), and her master, Mr. Johnson. The former will be a heavy loser by this casualty, as the principal portion of her cargo was his. She was not insured. - S. M. Herald, June 21.”
The Southland Times (New Zealand), 2nd July 1864 :
“FRIDAY, 1st JULY.
“WRECKS AT SHOALHAVEN. - The Sarah Jane, ketch, was wrecked on Sunday last, at Shoalhaven (Crookhaven Heads), on the north spit; and the American vessel Pacific, from Auckland, said to be 700 tons, in ballast, was wrecked on the south of Crookhaven Heads. The ketch had a cargo on board for Moruya. One man was drowned in each vessel. The Pacific was bound to Newcastle for coal, - Sydney Mail, June 18.”
