A rare example of a shipwreck caused by ice.

The Carlisle ship-canal was built from 1819 and formally opened on 12 March 1823, to link the Solway Firth (Port Carlisle) with a basin near Carlisle. It was 11 miles long, 18 feet wide with 8 locks. Vessels were towed by horses. It was replaced by a railway and closed around 1853. Vessels named [in the Carlisle Patriot, 15 March 1823] as being at the opening ceremony were the Robert Burns, Irishman, Rosina, Menai, Crown, Miss Douglas, John, Nancy, Henry Brougham, Sarah, Mary, followed by coal and peat boats.

A painting of the ship basin at Carlisle:

From Carlisle Patriot - Saturday 17 January 1824
  The Hannah, a small fragile coal-vessel, sunk in our Canal, on Thursday[15 January 1824], near Knockupworth bridge, in consequence of having been cut through by the ice. She was coal laden, and on her passage downwards. [Knockupworth bridge was a draw-bridge over the canal, quite close to Carlisle]
