The wreck of the Hull and Leith Steamer ‘Pegasus’ whilst on her voyage from Leith to this port on the night of July 19th in this year (1843) caused a painful sensation here. The vessel had at least fifty individuals on board, all of whom save six perished. About midnight she struck upon the Goldstone Rock (a sunken one), inside the Fern Islands, within five miles of the spot rendered so mournfully, yet so romantically, interesting as the scene of the wreck of the ‘Forfarshire’ and the heroic exploits of Grace Darling. When the vessel struck, the sea was calm, smooth and beautiful; the Captain immediately put her back with the idea of running her safely into shore; but this he had been unable to accomplish, for she quickly filled, and sank in the ten fathoms of water, after having made only from two hundred to three hundred yards from the point she struck.

Steam Packet launched in Gainsborough 1836 from Mr. Smith's shipyard. "1836 On June 3rd, a very serious catastrophe occurred in the explosion of the boiler of the Hull and Gainsborough S.P. Union in the Humber Dock Basin. The vessel was crowded with passengers and thirteen of them were killed, and a large number injured, the body of one passenger being blown on to the roof of a warehouse behind Minerva Terrace. The funnel and top of the boiler fell a considerable distance from the quay and the vessel herself was almost blown to pieces. The inquest shewed that that the accident was caused by the sticking or overweighting of the safety valve. The Humber Union Steam Packet Co. agents Hudson and Cobby, inserted a notice in the local papers stating that they had no connection with the vessel, as had been wrongly reported, and, at the same time, took the opportunity of pointing out that their steamships were each provided with two practical and experienced engineers and therefore their machinery could not even temporarily be in charge of ignorant firemen, as is too frequently the case."
