Extract from a Letter on the Romney Warship
An office letter aboard the Romney Max of War recounts a brutal hurricane near North Kent. The ship anchored near the Foreland Saturday. Sunday fire-gale surged, driving her onto the point. Crew fought to save her, cutting away masts as the vessel foundered until the gale eased. Eight ships were sighted offshore. The rammed vessel Ramfeate’s boatmen describe it as the heaviest gale remembered.
