Stranraer, 16th Jan. [recd. 16th, per M.T. at 11 a.m.]. The JACQUES ANTONIN (brig), of Marseilles, Artigues, from Rouen to Liverpool, in ballast, having sprung a leak and lost sails, got on shore in Slocklaw Bay, near Carslaw (?Corsewall) Light yesterday, and is a total wreck.
Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 14,285, London, Monday January 16 1860.
NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 9787).

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. Slouchlaw Bay is not noted as such on the 1996 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map, but Corsewall Point Lighthouse (NW97SE 15) is at NW 98075 72614.
The date of loss that is cited by Whittaker remains unverified, but is accepted.
