Swordfish Severely Damages Ship With Blunt Horn
A three masted schooner from Boston arrived leaky after Mobile voyage. Water poured in as crew pumped, finding a hole caused by a swordfish horn. The fish penetrated copper sheathing, outer planking four and a half inches, nine inches to inner planking, another four and a half inches. The blow would require immense force to pierce such thick timber. The sea creature likely thought the passing mass was a whale and seemed astonished at the damage.
