| It was reported by the telegraph, on Saturday, last that there was a large ship, (name unknown) about two miles below l'Islet, with her hull and part of her masts under water. This report has since been confirmed, and proves to be the Alligator, crew saved. | ||
| Quebec Mercury #20. Friday, May 19, 1820. Supplement. | ||
|
The ship Alligator, Captain Madick, from Waterford, wrecked near
l'Islet, had on board 400 tons salt, 15 casks glassware, 50 boxes
fig blue, 10 boxes black thread. There were 40 steerage and a few
cabin passengers on board; several women and children among the
former. After striking, she filled so very fast, that the
unfortunate crew and passengers had time to save nothing but what
was on their backs. They were hurried and crowded into the boats,
surrounded with the gloomy appearance of the contending elements;
the weather so thick as to conceal the land. The Alligator was put up at auction yesterday, and adjudged to Messrs. Rogerson, Hunter Co., for £40. Today intelligence is received, that the salt has melted and the vessel is in a very safe position. £1000 has been refused for the bargain. | ||
