Hi Pinkshoes,
I had a look at the 19th century newspapers site but alas couldn't find any reference to the sinking of Spring. There are references though to the movement of both the Spring and Swift under the command of Paskins. There were 21 such references for the Swift between 1883 and 1888 and 3 for the Spring spanning 1866 and 1872. The Spring ws carrying coals and ballast. I found two references to the movement of the Wild Dayrell in 1861 and 1867 under Hedycock and then Hawkins.
Regards,
Phil
