John Grant (Schooner), capsized, 29 Apr 1845
- Full Text
We are indebted to Capt. Titus of the PALMER, for the following: On Wednesday at 8:00, when 16 miles below Erie, 8 or 10 mile from shore, fell in with the wreck of a topsail schooner, supposed to have capsized in the squall of yesterday afternoon. Lowered the small boat to examine, but found no persons on board of her, discovered nothing by which I could tell her name. She appeared newly painted; white top, black wail, straw colored waist, upper painted black, with white plank shear, green bulwarks and black rail. Yards black with white ends; mast head white; topsails furled and mainsail lowered 2/3 down. She appeared light, and every thing there except small boat and caboose house.
ALSO [Eds. Note]
The wreck above spoken of is supposed to be that of the schr. JOHN GRANT.
