Detroit (Schooner), aground, 10 Jun 1842

During the blow on Friday night, the schrs. THONAS HART and DETROIT, the former of Oswego and the latter of Cleveland, went ashore at Sodus, and will probably be lost. The HART was laden with pork from the Upper lakes, the most of which will be saved. The DETROIT was freighted with wheat, most of which will be saved in a damaged state. The schr. HANNAH from lake Erie, was also in company, and came very near being lost; but was preserved by casting an anchor just before entering the surf. She lost most of her spars. It is somewhat singular that both of the Captains supposed themselves making the harbor at oswego when they went ashore.---Rochester Daily Adv.
