The following articles are taken from the Aberdeen Journal (Scotland). I have no known connection to the families but I have replicated the articles here in case they are of interest to anyone else.

The articles relate to the loss of a small salmon cobble off Burghead, parish of Duffus, on the Moray Firth (near Elgin) on Wednesday, February 14, 1894.

From the Aberdeen Journal, dated Wednesday, February 21 1894:

DISASTERS AT SEA
FIVE MEN DROWNED AT BURGHEAD

Yesterday afternoon at Burghead, while a heavy sea was running, one of the salmon cobbles went to put out anchors on the north side of the town when the cobble capsized, and the whole of those on board - five in number - were drowned. Their names are John Bartlett, George Park, Duncan McLeod, George Thompson, all Burghead men who have large families, and Alexander Kemp, of Findhorn, who also leaves a large family.

The body of McLeod was recovered, and the others were seen amongst the breakers.
