Abstract:		 The LUTHER was a wooden snow or brig (sources differ) built by the Dundee Shipbuilding Company in 1856. Technical and configuration specifications are given as 249gt, 214nt; 100ft 3in length x 23ft 3in breadth x 15ft 3in depth; sheathed in felt and yellow metal, partly fastened with iron bolts. At time of loss on 24 January 1884, the vessel was owned by J White of Dundee and was carrying coal or beer, stout, and Scotch whisky in 40-60 gallon barrels (sources differ) from Troon to St John Newfoundland. The vessel was manned by 9 crew members, including the master John Duncan or D Stewart (sources differ) and the master's son. The LUTHER was caught in a northwesterly force 11 gale and blown ashore near Porth Oer. At about 2 o'clock in the morning of 25 January 1884 , two of the crewmen arrived at a farm called Ty Mawr, saying that they had left another two crewmen on the road. A search was made, and the men brought safely to the house. Those that were saved included an old man, the cook and two able-seamen, Gilbert Ross and John Jeness. The captain's body was found at Clyanng, 20 miles away. Another man reached the shore by clinging to the ship's biscuit tin.
