Wreck of the Chilton of Liverpool and the Survivors
Details published by Captain Wildridge recount the Barque Chilton of Liverpool wrecked after a voyage from St Johns. The crew faced gales, flooding, and relentless seas, with several drownings and deaths from drinking salt water before rescue by the brig City of York and then the St. Lawrence. The account questions Lloyd's Register safety guarantees for Atlantic vessels in that season.
