The screw-steamer Ontario aground on Hasborough Sands, near Yarmouth, 1864. 'Our Engraving, from a sketch by Mr. W. K. Hunt, of Great Yarmouth, shows the position of the Ontario when she had struck on Hasborough Sands... This fine screw-steamer, of 3200 tons, belonging to the National Steam Navigation Company, was intended for the Liverpool and New York trade; but was, at the time of her disaster, making a first voyage from Shields to Alexandria, laden with coals and iron. It was on the morning of Sunday week that she got aground, about ten miles from the shore. Captain Brooklin and the crew did not leave the vessel till the Friday, when small hope of saving her remained. For some days, however, as the weather permitted, she was attended by the Caistor life-boat, the steamer Rainbow, and several tugs, winch were employed to remove as much of her cargo as could be taken away. Several boats and small vessels thus engaged appear in our Illustration'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
