Probable Hoax
I have boldly removed the entry for the wreck of a Liverpool steamer Dolphin in October 1886. It is a "message in a bottle" story that was widely syndicated at the time, but with never any hint that that it described an actual shipwreck. A few newspapers remarked that there was no Liverpool steamer listed of that name. The only steamer named Dolphin which was lost in waters around Britain in the previous decade was 13 months earlier in the Dover Straits, by collision, though none of the details match at all.
