SHIPWRECK--MELANCHOLY LOSS OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN LIVES. ------------ The New York Papers contain the following :--On the 1st of May the Swedish sloop of war Charles Krona, Captain E. G., of Klint, sailed from Havannah for Sweden, with a crew, consisting of 132 men, and when off Matanzas, having been two days and three nights out, was caught in a squall, which turned the vessel bottom upwards, consigning to a watery grave one hundred and fifteen souls! The vessel immediately sunk. Seventeen of the crew, who saved themselves by clinging to spars of the vessel, were picked up by a New Orleans vessel, and brought into New York. --The Cork Examiner, 3 June 1846 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild, Irish Maritime News Acton, Mass. | http://istg.rootsweb.com/newsarticles/newsarticles.html - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
