THE
LOSS OF THE GWENDOLINE
"A Middlesborough telegram says the reported loss of the steamship, Gwendoline, owned by
Swan Brothers,Middlesborough, is confirmed, with all hands. She had a crew of 13. The body of the Captain, named
Mallett, is reported to have been found.
Much sympathy was expressed at Grangemouth on the news of the loss of the steamer Gwendoline. The Captain and crew were well known, the steamer being a regular trader to the port. The Chief
Officer, Thomas
Miller, was for a number of years Captain of one of the
Carron Company's steamers running between Grangemouth and
London. Latterly he was in the steamer Abergrange of Grangemouth, which vessel he left quite recently to join the Gwendoline. He was married and resided in Falkirk. Another member of the crew belonged to Grangemouth - John Allan, steward, who was married."
