Oscar, 16 February 1817

The Oscar, Meyers, from Baltimore for this port, was driven on shore in Tramore Bay 17th inst. and it was feared would be wrecked. Cargo expected to be saved.[1]


On the night of Sunday last, The Oscar, an American ship, Captain Meyers, laden with flour, for Liverpool from Baltimore, struck on the bar near Rhineshark, in the bay of Tramore. Her cargo is likely to be saved as the weather has not been violent and we trust that the vessel will be got off with safety.[2]
