Tiber, January 1796,

The Tiber, Master J Farse, was a brig of 120 tons burden, with two decks and a draught of 12 ft. when loaded. Built in Topsham in 1774 and owned by Kennaway; she held an E1 classification and was described as a constant trader between Exeter and the Straights.[1]

A boat is come on shore at Tramore Bay, marked ‘The Tiber of Exeter’ the master’s name is not mentioned. She appears much wrecked by the sea and is an old boat.’ A board on which was painted ‘Col. Ogilvie, B G 2d battalion, three dozen Port wine, Contractor Indian,’ is likewise come on shore. A barrel of pork, in a putrid state, has been driven in at the same place, and pipes of port come on shore every tide.[2]
