Letitia, 31 March 1839

Sunday Morning, about nine o’clock, the Letitia of Cardigan, Titus Rees, Master, a small smack, was driven into Tramore Bay and after some in effectual struggles to get out, was driven on the Strand, near the storm wall. The crew are saved. She sailed first from Swansea, but put into Milford, which port she left on Friday for Bannow. The cargo, culm, has been taken out. It is expected the vessel will soon go to pieces.[1]
