The
Dartmouth, Master Tozer was a brig, 120 tons burden, single decked with beams, with
a draught of water of 10 ft. when loaded, built in Biddeford in 1773, owned by Leigh

Waterford,
December 9, Last Monday night, the brig Adventure, of Bolton, Joshua Wiley,
master, bound from Cape Fear, in North Carolina to Liverpool, with tar and
staves, was entirely wrecked in the bay of Tramore, one man lost, but some part
of the cargo saved.
The vessel lately put into Tramore Bay is
called the Dartmouth, Henry Tozer, master, bound from Newfoundland to this city
and Dartmouth with oil and passengers. Her cargo is all providentially saved by
the timely interposition of Messrs O’Brien and Hunt, merchants; and the vessel
got safe into Rhineshark harbour by the activity of Captain Hurly, of this
city, and captain Tozer, a circumstance very uncommon for vessels in that
dreadful bay.
