Ocean (Propeller), C88633, aground, 18 Oct 1880
- Full Text
Yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock, as the propeller OCEAN was proceeding up from Montreal, laden with 250 tons of pig iron, an attempt was made to run across the current at Farrens Point, below Morrisburg. The vessel sheered and ran upon the bank damaging her stern. Subsequently she swung off and drifted down to a wharf some distance below where the accident occurred. It was found that her fore-foot had been carried away and her garboard streak split. Her pumps were put in operation and she proceeded to this city, getting here this morning. The OCEAN was temporarily repaired here. She is bound for Toronto. Captain McMaugh is in command.

The propeller OCEAN, of St. Catharines, which was here on Tuesday, ran into Port Hope yesterday morning leaking badly. After shifting some of her cargo of pig iron she started again for Toronto. After getting a few miles up the lake the leak increased and she put back to the port with all her pumps working full and a sail under her bottom to check the leaking.
