The Daily Morning Astorian of Jan. 27, 1886, posted the following notice: “At 1:30 tomorrow afternoon E. C. Holden will sell at auction the wrecked schooner Carrie B. They were only about 40 yards from the Carrie B. when the boat capsized, and the captain, the mate and cook drowned in the breakers. Crewman James Dunn made it back to the Carrie B. and climbed aboard. A horse-drawn wagon arrived and hauled the men and gear up to the expected location of the Carrie B. The conclusion of the U.S. Life-saving Service was terse: “Had the people remained by their vessel, they would all have been saved.” (Painting: Ivan Aivazovsky)
