| NATURE OF CASUALTY | |
|
In stormy weather the swell breaks with great fury upon the reef. In December, 1886, the British bark Sir Jamsetjee Family was wrecked on the inside of the reef. She sailed in between the reef and Point Greenville and struck on the innermost rock under Cape Elizabeth, where she went to pieces. Within the year 1887 a vessel got inside this reef, but sailed out by the way she came in. Coast Pilot 1889 |
