Fire damages houses at Couger's Dock in late July 1778
A vast blaze swept the area around the House of Mr Stuart at Couger's Dock destroying buildings, timber, and iron. Amid rapid spreading flames residents fled as flames consumed the street. Several houses burned, others damaged, and the neighborhood faced heavy losses. Affected ships and cargoes were threatened as alarm spread through the harbor.
