Brothers
The Brothers disappeared, never reaching its destination after leaving for Roebourne on 19 February 1867. This was very close to the time the Emma disappeared, and in the same area. All that is known about this wreck is that a few years after the disappearance, Charles Tuckey was told of three wrecks in the area south of North West Cape. His information came from an Aboriginal from the area. It is included in the data base as the legend referring to the Emma could well apply to the Brothers as they were lost so close together.
