Andrew Sutherland who was lost in the Clyth disaster had a grandson Alexander Mckay aged 30 who was skipper of WK100 Confidence and he was lost at sea 10miles out from Wick on 7th Feb 1888, knocked overboard by the tiller striking him on the head. Left a wife and three children, very sad.
Hi,
I believe my great, great, great, grandfather William Sinclair was brother to Donald Sinclair who drowned in the Widows of Clyth accident.
I would dearly love to make contact with Sinclair descendants and find out any more information about my Sinclair line as I have so little. I am over in New Zealand. William left years before the accident to head to the Australian Goldfields.
Kindest Regards
Jen Coster
