Loss of the Van Sittart Fair Indiaman told in bold detail
An extract recounts Captain Wilson of the ship Vari ittare leaving England for China, running aground off Java while seeking a known passage between the Billiton Islands and Panea. The ship was wrecked, pumps failed, and the crew, aided by providence, endured weeks at sea before reaching Palambarg. They later found the wreck nearby and recovered two hundred thousand dollars of Company treasure through diving, with shares assigned to Captain Canning.
