Did you know that Edward had a very lucky escape in 1845?

(Essex newspapers)

December 1845 the Mercury, laden with coals, left Shields, bound for Colchester
Hit a storm and wrecked near Whitby
The master, Thomas Douglas Nunn, and two men drowned
Six survivors, including Edward Syrett of Colchester.
