08/02/1862: Fleetwood Chronicle; “FORTY PUNCHEONS OF WHISKY PICKED UP AT SEA. On Wednesday last, thirty-nine puncheons of whiskey were handed over to Mr. Walker (as receiver of wreck for the district) which had been picked up at sea on the previous day by the following Fleetwood fishing boats:- SURPRISE. (R. Leadbetter), 11 puncheons; MARYS, (T. Wright), 9; ELIZABETH, (R. Wright), 6; FAWN, (Ball), 5; PURSUIT, (R. Wilson), 3; and the MARY ELLEN, (N. Leadbetter), 5. On being tested, the liquor was found to be 40% over proof; the 39 puncheons thus yielding 7,100 gallons of proof spirits. The barrels were found floating about 20 miles west of Blackpool and appear to have been in the water for a long time, and it is supposed they formed part of the cargo of a wrecked vessel, which is now breaking up. All are marked either “McNab, Glenochil” or “John Bold, Carse Bridge;”
The value of the whiskey, exclusive of duty is from £800 to £900. The finders will probably receive a salvage of one third.
If not claimed at the end of twelve months it will be sold and, after salvage, the proceeds will go to the crown.
On Thursday, the fishing vessel INDUSTRY brought another puncheon in.
