What I don't know is whether the new sluice was used simply to release water pressure on the harbour or whether ships used it. It was very narrow.
Michael Dixon.
I can answer that!!! According to a booklet by David Anderson, the cut was indeed used. He writes;
"Entrance or exit into this new cut was always problematic, as can be seen on any winters's day when the sea is running high, and it is not too difficult to imagine attempting entry in a storm and many bow spits were damaged. The Delaval papers are littered with accounts for repairs to numerous ships damaged entering the cut and the piers were also damaged frequently in storms and they too had to be repaired."
He also comments on the narrowness you mentioned as follows:
"In addition to these access and egress problems, the designed width of the cut was totally inadequate for its purpose because two ships could not pass one another. If a collier brig was fully loaded in the cut and the tide or wind was unfavourable to leave the harbour it became "stuck" and blocked the cut to other shipping."

I also have an interest in Seaton Sluice. My family were the Doughertys (spelling varies considerably , Dockerty, Docherty Doherty, etc.) Mark Patterson Dougherty was baptised 21 Jan 1832 at Earsdon. He was a glassman aged 11 on 1851 census, lived in Seaton Sluice all his life working at the Glass Works but by 1881 was a coal miner. His parents were Charles D. and Ann Patterson. By 1841 Ann was a widow. Mark seems to be the youngest child. I have not managed to find the burial place of Charles D. Not in Earsdon burials. Which other churches should I consider?
I visited Seaton Sluice over Heritage Weekend recently and went to the Bottleworks Exhibition and the Watch House - very interesting.
