Footnotes

The 58-ton Bideford ketch Annie was built by William Westacott at Barnstaple in 1872. On 8 November 1921, it went out of control coming over the Bar. The wreck was not sighted until dawn when the lifeboat crew at Appledore was despatched. It took rescuers an hour to battle out against the wind and reach the Annie and on coming up to her they found only the mate and seaman hanging exhausted in the weather rigging.
