American Eagle (Schooner), aground, 8 Nov 1820

During the gale on Saturday night last, three vessels came ashore at this place---the AMERICAN EAGLE, the WILLIAM, and the WASHINGTON. The AMERICAN EAGLE arrived here on Saturday morning, from Buffalo with a very valuable cargo of salt and merchandize &c., which was safely landed, except part of the salt, just as the gale came up. She parted her cable and beached a short distance above the mouth of the river, and received some damage to her hull.
