HICKMAN, owned by NATHANIEL W. HICKMAN, of Lewes, Delaware was sunk at the mouth of Lewes Creek. She was laden with 4,000 bushels, which is probably an entire loss. The vessel can probably be raised without mich loss, as she is entirely new, but if the corn is lost, the loss cannot fall short of $6000. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
