Sea Bird
The following morning, near daybreak, "Sea Bird" found herself in troubles of her own. As the wind picked up from the northwest with heavy swells, "Sea Bird"'s two anchors began to drag. The ship broke free and started drifting towards the very same rocks that just a day before had wrecked "Carrier Pigeon". The owner of "Sea Bird", Captain John T. Wright, had detailed knowledge of the area, and was able to maneuver his ship so that it beached a few miles south, on the sandy shore of Point Año Nuevo. This saved "Sea Bird" from being wrecked, and she was refloated a few months later, in October.
