Shipwrecked Vessels Pursue Survival on Middle Ground
The Historical Register reports a fleet of ships driven ashore or stranded while battling a storm. Captains Waidah, Nickins, Lubbock, Shape, Hill, Trompson, Loane, Basterson and others saw crews and cargo saved after hulls were damaged or cut away. Several vessels rode out seas, some drove to dry land or green bays, and multiple crews preserved life despite wrecks.
