J. F. Card (Schooner), U12778, squall damage, 1 Aug 1875
- Full Text
As already announced, the schooner J. F. CARD, Captain Wells, belonging to the Bradley line, met with a disaster while putting about, off Vermillion Point, recently. The first thing to start was the centre-board, which was followed in quick succession by the seizings of the rigging at the foremast head, and the lanyards of the main rigging, and sooner than it takes to tell the story both masts and the jib-boom were overboard, and the vessel lay a helpless hulk in the trough of the sea. She was towed into Cleveland by the propeller ANNA B. SMITH, with the additional loss of the large anchor. Strange to say, no one received the slightest injury.
