"September 7, 1829.  During a gale from the westward on the night of September 3, the ship Marquis of Anglesea (352 tons) which had lately arrived (on August 23rd under the command of Captain W Stewart) with 130 settlers on board and anchored in Gage Roads close to the mouth of the Swan River, drove on shore, bilged and filled with water; all hands were saved with part of the cargo that remained unloaded.  This with the previous driving of the Calista shows that Gage Roads, at this season is not safe and may occasion the establishment of another sea-port in Cockburn Sound."

From Dr Alexander Collie's Journal:

"September 7, 1829.  During a gale from the westward on the night of September 3, the ship Marquis of Anglesea (352 tons) which had lately arrived (on August 23rd under the command of Captain W Stewart) with 130 settlers on board and anchored in Gage Roads close to the mouth of the Swan River, drove on shore, bilged and filled with water; all hands were saved with part of the cargo that remained unloaded.  This with the previous driving of the Calista shows that Gage Roads, at this season is not safe and may occasion the establishment of another sea-port in Cockburn Sound."


From a Letter by Captain W.T.Dance of HMS Sulphur dated 9th September 1829:

"The Marquis of Anglesea drove with three anchors ahead in a gale of wind and going onto the rocks southward of the entrance of the river, was bilged and I fear, can never be got off.
