One was driven ashore, above the spring high tide mark, in Par harbour, Cornwall during ″very considerable oscillations of the sea″. A second schooner's hawsers parted and she was driven out of the harbour by the current and went ashore nearby. This was on 25 or 26 June.[9]
The ship was driven onto Loe Bar, Mount's Bay, Cornwall, United Kingdom when her anchor cable parted in high winds. She was bound for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from Liverpool, Lancashire, United Kingdom with 3,000 tons of coal and was the largest sailing ship to be wrecked on the bar. Four of the crew of thirty-five lost their lives.[24]
The schooner was wrecked on the shore one mile south–west of Upton Cliff, near Bude, Cornwall. Her crew and one female passenger were rescued by the rocket apparatus and her captain jumped overboard and reached the shore.[28]
