Deserted bark Oriente ashore off North Carolina coast
The 1,400 ton Portuguese bark Oriente lies hard ashore and deserted about ten yards from Poyner Hill Lifesaving Station on the North Carolina coast after a night of heavy sea. Crews not landed at nearby stations and may have drifted at sea or been picked up by a passing vessel. A similarly named vessel last was reported at Iquique, Peru.
