3 January
1815; the schooner Williams, Hall, of
and from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Ross, laden with fish and oil, ran on
shore in Tramore Bay on Wednesday morning. Crew saved, and Vessel unloading.[1]
Port
News, Passage Jan 7. William, Hall,
St. John’s, Newfoundland, last from Tramore, for Ross, fish and oil. The whole
of the cargo landed at Tramore, the vessel arrived here in ballast.[2]
The
schooner, William, Hall, mentioned in our last to be on shore at Tramore, was
got off on Saturday morning, after being lightened of her cargo, and shortly
after arrived at our quay. We have had frequent opportunities of recording the
skill, courage and humanity displayed invariably by all ranks of the
inhabitants of Tramore in saving the crews and cargoes of vessels driven into
their bay. But we do not remember to have ever, even there, known of a vessel
being completely discharged in one day, and on the following morning being
safely moored at the distance which the Quay of Waterford is from the bay of
Tramore; and, let us add, without five shillings of damage to tackle or cargo.
Captain Hall has returned his public and well deserved thanks, and those of his
owner, to John Walsh, of Tramore esq, Michael Kennedy of Ballydavid, esq and
Capt. Patrick Hurley, of Tramore. (See below)
To
the Editor of the Waterford Mirror.
Sir,
I
am directed by my owner, Mr Patrick Brien, to return public thanks, through
your paper, to John Walsh esq, Surveyor of the Coast, Michael Kennedy esq, and
Captain Patrick Hurley, for their united and most extraordinary exertions in
getting off the schooner William, of and from St. John’s Newfoundland, of which
vessel I am Master, stranded on the beach of Tramore, on the night of the 3rd
instant, through the conduct of an ignorant or improper pilot, of Passage, who
boarded said vessel on the evening of the said day, and took charge and further
bringing said vessel round safe to the Quay of Waterford, after discharging and
storing the entire cargo, consisting of fish and oil, at Tramore, without
damage or loss in discharging.
I
am sir, your most obedient servant,
William
Hall, Master.
Waterford
January 7, 1815.[3]
