Greetings. I would dearly love to find some information re a ship that my ancestors were shipwrecked on off of Nova Scotia 1818. They were ship wrecked off Nova Scotia on 02-October-1818. Their sailing vessel was blown off course by a great storm in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Nova Scotia. After a great deal of difficulty the passengers were rescued and taken to Halifax. The "Acadian", a Halifax weekly paper, reported on October 10, 1818; "The Brig "Fame" (The Captain being; Captain Hardy) from Belfast, Ireland, for this place, out 49 days with 114 passengers went on shore Sunday (02/Oct/1818) about 11:00 o'clock at Cole Harbour. Passengers and crew saved." Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Regards, R.W. Rick Redmond Chester, UK (formerly of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) rredmond@btopenworld.com
