St Simone Sacramento: 5 October 1772,

A Spanish ship from St. Ubes, (modern Setubal, Portugal) for Waterford. ‘Waterford  5 October 1772:
There is at anchor in Tramore, with her main mast gone, the Simone Sacramento, Antonio Simoiene, from St. Ubes to Waterford, & as the wind is south, she will not ride it out, the people quitting her, there is great assistance and if the wind comes to the west to attend her they will bring her in if she rides till then’.[1]
