The following report was transcribed from The Argus, 18th June 1851 :
“We are in receipt of intelligence from our Wollongong correspondent communicating the loss of the ketch Twin Sisters, James Barnes, master; the owner is Mr. Cooper, of Sydney. She was partially laden with wheat and potatoes from Shoalhaven, and put in to Kiama to __ up; on her leaving the latter port for Sydney, between the hours of 12 on Tuesday night and 1 in the morning of Wednesday, the 4th instant, she got clear of the moorings with a fair breeze, when an immediate lull ensued, and the fated vessel was irresistibly drifted by the force of the current and heavy swell on to the rocks, where she became a total wreck. No lives were lost. - Sydney Herald”
