lee tide การใช้

Assuming he had sea room, he attempted to wear around; a lee tide caught " Shannon " and crashed her straight onto the rocks . " Merlin " spotted land thanks to a bolt of lighting and was able to wear off in time.
The wind blowing strong from the NNW, and the lee tide coming on, rendered it impossible with Schowts [ probably schuits, local fishing vessels ] or other boats to go out to aid her until daylight in the morning, and at that time nothing was to be seen but parts of the wreck.
