Norfolk Packet, Barnett, master, went on shore on 18 January 1817, in Caernarvon Bay, about 12 miles from the Head. Her crew were rescued but she was full of water and it was unlikely that she could be got off. She was on a voyage from Baltimore, Maryland, to Liverpool.[3] Part of the cargo was saved.
