The Canadian schooner GRAMPUS, which had undergone repairs and refitting following damage from a previous gale in October, also met a similar fate and was wrecked alongside the AINSWORTH. The GRAMPUS, carrying a heavy cargo of oak timber, broke amidships and was expected to be a complete loss.
The crews of both vessels were rescued the following morning by members of the Revenue Cutter Service using the yawl from their cutter.
