Dudley Farlin ~ 2 April 1891

Wrecks and Derelicts in the North Atlantic Ocean, 1887 to 1893, Inclusive

The USS Yantic reports that the sunken ship Dudley Farlin about 24 miles N.E. of Bodie Island is not to be found. Concluded heavy weather has broker her up. The same conclusion may be reached as regards the two wrecks off Cape Lookout, NC (Aberlady Bay and Glenrath). March 30, a careful search during very favorable weather failed to reveal as much as a break or swirl of water by which the whereabouts of the sunken steamers Aberlady Bay or Glenrath might be known, both of which lay off Cape Lookout. Wreck of schooner Mollie J. Saunders was located and marked by a buoy March 31, 7 miles southeast from Bodie Island, the weather being too rough to blow her up.
