Master
Tromp, from Newfoundland to Waterford lost near Tramore only two of the crew
saved.
On
Wednesday night last, the brig Eliza of Exeter, Captain Tromp, laden with fish
&c. from St Johns Newfoundland, was totally wrecked on the Islands of Kane
to the westward of Tramore Bay. The crew consisted of the captain and four
hands, of which the captain and two men were lost. The remaining two ascended
the top mast of the vessel, which fortunately was some feet above the surface,
and the vessel giving a heel, they miraculously, attained an adjoining rock and
were saved. The same night a small sloop from Tralee, [Jane] laden with kelp
was driven into Tramore bay and went to pieces. The crew were saved.[1]
