Loss of the yacht "Vectis", off Bognor, 1845. 'About ten days since, the yacht Vectis, the property of R. A. Mangin, Esq., during a heavy breeze from the south-east, struck on a reef of rocks off Bognor [in Sussex], and immediately foundered; so that the persons on board, Mr. Mangin and a passenger friend of his, Mr. C. Crew Read, with difficulty reached the shore, after being a considerable time up to their waists in water. The Vectis was bound from Portsmouth eastward. The yacht became a total wreck; and Messrs. R. and P. Ise- monger, of Littlehampton, the deputy vice-admirals, &c., were instructed to dispose of the materials'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
