Destruction of the Cambridge at Plymouth burn scene
Fires aboard the Liverpool bark Cambridge during repairs at Gent's ship yard Plymouth raged from evening into dawn, aided by a boy’s carelessness. The crew and nearby helpers fought the blaze until it spread through rigging, with launching the damaged hull later ending the effort as flames finally subsided. The ship, cargo free, was left a charred wreck. The report also covers a separate Nymph fire at King's dock, plus an inquest verdict of wilful murder at Bramley against James Elsley.
