Casualty List for 1848
Toronto Globe, Sept. 13, 1848
----------
The schooner JOSEPHINE, Capt. Harrison, as we learn from the Fredonia Censor, was wrecked at Dunkirk, just inside the beacon. She was attempting to make the harbor, and when entering the channel, encountered the fragments of the steamer COLUMBUS, which at that moment went to pieces and fell into the schooner's way. She was reported as leaking badly, at last accounts. The COLUMBUS is now among the things that were. But a small portion of her machinery has been saved.
