Dorothy aband1d in the Western Atlantic on 26 January 1840 on a commercial voyage. As reported in the advertiser: 'By advices received yesterday by Mr Law, we regret to have to record the loss of the Dorothy, Captain Fleming, belonging to this port. The Dorothy left St John's on the 7th January timber-laden and bound for Hull. When in long 26.45 and lat 45.24 January 26th she was struck by a heavy sea which stove in her stern, defying the exertions of the crew to stop the leak and in the course of 2 hours and a half the water was up to her cabin deck. In order to keep her as right as possible, they threw overboard all her deck gear, chains, anchors etc which was of no avail; the sea making a breach over her; in consequence the crew were obliged to take to the rigging and remained in this perilous condition until the 30th when the brig Careratta, Captain Warren, bound for Newfoundland, bore down and rescued them, otherwise they must have perished. They made signals of distress to several other vessels, but it would appear they had not been understood. The mate with 6 of the crew were put on board of a French brig bound for New York, in consequence of the cabin provisions being nearly exhausted from a protracted voyage. The rest of the crew along with Captain Fleming, on the 11th February were put on board the Jenny, Captain Newton, bound for Liverpool and have since been landed at Tobermory, Isle of Mull. It is but justice to Captain Warren and Newton to remark that they have both acted toward the crew with every kindness and at10tion.' |
