From The Constitution or Cork Morning Post, 6 September 1822 - LOSS OF THE PACKET-SHIP LIVERPOOL We have already announced the loss, on the banks of Newfoundland, of the packet-ship Liverpool, which sailed from New York from [sic] Liverpool on her first voyage on the 16th ult. The whole of the passengers and crew are saved, though their sufferings must have been severe, as they were exposed to weather for five days in open boats, when they were taken up by a fishing boat, and conveyed to St. John's, Newfoundland. Captain Lee and the crew, with one passenger, have returned to New York ; and the other passengers have come to England in the Dart, which arrived off Bristol on Saturday, 24th inst. The only particulars yet known of the lamentable event, are contained in the following extract of a letter, received at Liverpool on Monday last, from one of the passengers. "Brig Dart, off Bristol, 24th August, 1822. "The Liverpool was lost on the 25th ult. on the banks of Newfoundland, by running foul of an island of ice, but all hands saved and put into St. John's ; thence most of the passengers proceeded hither in the Dart, of this place, but a passenger (an infant child) having died on the passage, we are compelled to wait here the visitation of the quarantine officer, which must delay us from landing until to-morrow. "Captain lee sailed on the same day with us (6th Aug.) in a schooner for New York, with the whole of the crew and one of the passengers. "The vessel only floated two hours, and nothing was saved except the clothes we had on and a little specie. We were five days in the open boats, and on the 7th arrived at St. John's, having been taken up by a fishing-boat on the fifth day." The following is a list of the passengers: Mr. N. T. Heard and family, of New York ; Mr. John Simpson, of London ; Mr. Robert Mather, of Liverpool ; Mr. Wm. Christie, of Jamaica ; Mr. Samuel Wright, of Savannah ; Mr. William Castle, of Montreal ; Mr. Thomas Wright, of England, and Mr., G. A. Northedge, of Montreal.
