- Full Text
Advice received by Capt. E.P. Dorr from Port Colborne this morning, states that the schrs. ELLEN THERESA and FLORA CARVETH collided about 10 miles above Port Colborne Sunday night (8/10). The ELLEN THERESA lost both of her masts and the CARVETH had her bowsprit and jibboom carried away. The ELLEN THERESA was built in 1874 at Mill Pt. and is 74 tons burden. The CARVETH is 190 tons burden and was built in 1873 at Port Hope, Canada. She was formerly the Canadian schr. NORTH STAR.
After the above was written a despatch was received from Port Colborne stating that the CARVETH is loaded with coal for Toronto and that the ELLEN THERESA is light, from Buffalo to Port Rowan. The last named boat was owned by William Ryerse, of Port Ryerse.
