Trying to find this shipwreck.
Info that I know in the negative is listed below, anyone got any ideas how to turn those into positives?
1. Ship Caledonia ( not listed in Lloyds list) I think was probably an unlisted transport hulk residing in Jamaica for years before.
2. Crew all rescued by the Britannia of Bristol, pretty sure Clutsam ( Clutfam) Captain, cant ID which exact Britannia from Lloyds, but probably Clutsams, owner Protheroe.
3. Looks like it probably sank north of St Nicola Mole ( present day NW Haiti) after hitting ? rocks?. No idea how to find which rocks? Pursuing Log books in the UK for both Ships?
4. Can't find the correct Caledonia listed anywhere so no chance of finding the Captain?i Caledonia heading from Jamaica to London.
5. Good news, this silver snuff box was in the quartermasters pocket, now resides in the Royal Lancers museum..
Any ideas very welcome
Pm me to give you further info there is no room to mention here.
