Edgecombe, October 1849

A vessel, supposed to be an Austrian, about 150 tons burthen, was, we learn, drive into Tramore Bay this morning, about four o’clock, it blowing very strong from the S.W., and the sea running so high, that it was found impossible to board her: therefore no further particulars could be ascertained up to the time of going to press.[1]
The Austrian vessel which we stated in our last, had been driven into Tramore Bay, is named the Edgecombe, and was bound from Richabucto to Fleetwood, lader with timber. On Saturday last, the Nora Creina, Captain Bartlett, towed her into our harbour.-Waterford News.[2]
