D’Artangan, La Jeune Alexandre & Tourville, December 1848

The French lugger, “Dartangan” Sebastin Gassord master, about 80 tons burthen from Nantes, was driven ashore at Tramore on the 12th instant. The master and crew saved. The ship will most likely break up; but the cargo in a damaged state, will probably be all got out.
On Thursday, another vessel, a lugger, about the same size or tonnage, called “Jean Alexandre,” Boga master, came on shore about the same place, laden with wheat, also for this port. Master and crew saved, but the vessel will most likely go to pieces. The cargo we hope, will be saved, though in a damaded state.
A third vessel also on shore; her name if “Le Theodore.”
-Waterford Mail.[1]

Waterford, December 15- The Tourville, Vlond, of and from Nantes, for Waterford, was stranded at Tramore yesterday. Crew saved.[2]
