Violent North East Storm Destroys Vessels Off Sea Coast
Last Tuesday night and the following day a severe NE storm brought heavy wind and rain with some snow, causing great damage along the coast. About 20 to 30 ships were driven ashore or wrecked, including a Baltic bound vessel with valuable cargo, a sloop from Carolina, a West Indies ship, and a Connecticut vessel whose crew perished when it broke apart. A Marblehead arrival from Cadiz reported a brigantine deserted by its crew. the Cadiz captain sent men aboard to salvage, finding all sails intact except the main, no chests or stores, and water in the hold. The brig, owned by Simmes and Matter, had previously failed to Maryland with corn and flour. A London–bound Indiaman described Boston as home to a band of marauders and a likely imminent defeat for the rogue. In Providence, Rhode Island, Mrs Pitcher near Pattucket-bridge reportedly sank into a cataleptic state for sixteen days, receiving no sustenance or external sensation.
