On 18th July 1910, HATTIE L. M. left Stanley for Pebble Island with 17 people on board. The following day, as she approached the settlement, she struck rocks on the northeast side of Bleaker Island. She was holed and stuck fast. For three days the crew struggled to save her. But, when they eventually succeeding in pulling her off, she was caught by a strong north westerly wind, which drove her ashore on the beach at Second Neck, to the and out of sight of the settlement. The passengers and spent more than three weeks at the settlement, as the guests of Mr. Arthur Cobb, before being picked up and taken to Stanley. Further attempts to save the HATTIE L. M. failed, and she was eventually dismantled. The vessel was named to commemorate the 21st birthday of the daughter of her original owner, Peter Benjamin Zwicker. Hattie Lilla Maud Zwicker was born on the 20th February 1878 at Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada.
