Robert Gaskin (Schooner), C80877, sunk while wrecking, 24 Nov 1889
- Full Text
Brockville, November 9. ANOTHER MISFORTUNE
The wrecking schooner R. GASKIN, sunk beside the steamer ARMSTRONG, was raised today until her topmast was above the water when the hose for supplying air from the compressor to the lifting pontoon burst. Two tugs attempted to take her into shallow water, but before they made much she again settled down. The attempt to raise the ARMSTRONG has been a series of misfortunes.
