Lost at Greenland 15 April 1864, register closed 7 June 1864. As reported in the Courier: 'When at 70.10 north latitude and 14 west longitude on the morning of 15th April, whilst steaming through the ice towards Backedge where there was a prospect of securing a large number of seals, the Emma unfortunately sprung a leak and the water rushed rapidly into the hold. All hands took to the pumps immediately but, notwithstanding all their exertions, the water continued to increase and it was found necessary to leave the vessel to her fate. Captain Gravill secured the vessel's papers and the crew their clothing and a quantity of provisions, and then took to the boats, and shortly after they had left - about 12 o clock noon - the Emma went down. The crew, after rowing for twenty 4 hours, were picked up by a Norwegian vessel named the Eleazer, the captain of which received them very kindly...' |
