Welcome to RootsChat
This could be the Superb.
From The Times Thursday Oct 26 1882
Disasters at Sea
Yesterday intelligence was received at Great Yarmouth  of the total loss, with all hands, of a barque name unknown, which foundered during Tuesday night on Corton Sands. Rockets were fired for assistance, in response to which tugs set out, but they did not see anything. Early yesterday mornig, however, the masts of the ill-fated vessel were seen above water. The barque is supposed to have had a crew of 12 or 13 hands, all of whom were drowned.

Here's what I've been able to find on the Superb. Someone may know her Port Number.
Her full details will be in the Lowestoft Registers of Sea Fishing Boats which are in the Suffolk Archives. It is also possible that they may have a photograph of her.
