C. H. Johnson (Schooner), U5833, disabled, 6 Nov 1878
- Full Text
Captain Johnson, master of the C. H. JOHNSON, reports to the Inter-Ocean, that before daylight last Wednesday morning, when off Port Washington, he pulled his sheets aft to go in stays, that she wouldm't go, got into the trough of the sea, and rolled two of her masts off. Only the stump of the mizzen-mast is standing, and the main topmast and main-mast head are gone. All this top-hamper coming down of course damaged the rigging and tore the canvas more or less. She was towed into Chicago.
