North Carolina Shipwrecks The shipwrecks off of North Carolina are a unique and non-renewable resource that are in a constant state of change. The natural forces that work on North Carolina's barrier islands are also working on our shipwrecks. In many cases, the shipwrecks are the end result of the most extreme of those natural forces, while in other instances, the shipwrecks are the result of the most violent forces created by man. For the divers who visit them today, the wrecksites provide the foundation for a sensitive ecosystem of incredible diversity and beauty. It is easy to forget that they were intially born as a scene of destruction, sacrifice, injury and death. Please care for them as an ecosystem, respect them as a gravesite, and protect them as our heritage.

Tristan: A Valuable Fishery in Development For such a small island group, Tristan da Cunha has had a surprising number of shipwrecks: however, the amount of shipping rounding the Cape of Good Hope in the 19th Century meant that islands such as Inaccessible were often used as navigational aids, and were also used as a source of water and fresh meat. Islands such as Inaccessible are still poorly charted, and old sailing ships were often at the mercy of the elements. The Tristan da Cunha Group has claimed at least 22 ships, and in the past their wreckage was used to furnish islander's homes. The three confirmed wrecks on Inaccessible are as follows: The Blenden Hall , wrecked at Blenden Hall in 1821;

Smale By Miles Atchison By 2:30 a.m., the passengers and crew had safely launched the lifeboats and left the vessel. Apparently, the second mate had "thought he could better save himself by climbing over the rocks and elected to stay aboard."(This would seem to indicate that the vessel was fairly close to shore.) A momentary break in the fog enabled the Point Reyes lookout to see the wreck. The lookout immediately altered the regular blasts of the foghorn to a staccato call for help. At the same time, the lookout telephoned the Life Saving Station at Point Reyes for assistance. The Life Saving Station was some five miles away. Appendix This same volume for the year 1911, in the section "Loss of American Vessels Reported during Fiscal Year 1911," lists the Annie E. Smale. The list indicates 14 persons on-board with no lives lost. The nature of the vessel’s loss is indicated as having been stranded on July 9, 1910, at Point Reyes, California.

Earlier that morning, the Belle, Captained by Charles H. Houston, had been waiting for twenty-two minutes in a heavy fog at Sacramento landing. She had on board fifty to sixty men, passengers and crew included, and a cargo of "treasure" and dry goods belonging to Wines and Co. and Pacific Co. Expresses. At 7:22 a.m., Captain Houston told W.J. Eirick, first engineer of the Belle, that he was ready to depart. Eirick went into the engine room and ordered the fireman, William Green, to fire up, but not to hurry as there was good, dry wood and they were in no particular hurry. He then rang the ready bell. The Belle backed out of the Sacramento landing with sixty pounds of steam. Eirick then went into the engine room and told the second engineer to carry eighty pounds of steam and no more as it was still foggy and that it was best for the Belle to run slowly. After breakfast, Eirick checked the steam gauge and found there was 86 pounds of steam. He immediately stepped out on the guard to key up a crank pin and was in the act of doing this when the explosion occurred. The time was 8:24 a.m. The Belle, except for about 40 feet of the after portion of the vessel, began sinking immediately.

Sometime during the next five days she attempted to leave the port but was unsuccessful. At dawn on the morning of Saturday November 18, 1837, the Commodore Rogers was standing out of the Bay with a fine breeze from the north and east. Between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., the wind shifted to the northwest and the vessel’s progress out of the bay was slowed considerably. By 2:00 in the afternoon she was off the point in a heavy swell. There was a light wind which had "every appearance of dying away calm. Half an hour later, her head put round as if standing in", and she seemed to have lost the ground she had gained earlier. At about 3:20 the Commodore Rogers "came to right" ahead of the Toward Castle. At 10:00 p.m. that evening, the wind, picked up and was blowing strong in squalls from the northwest. By daylight of Sunday November 19, 1837, the Commodore Rogers had lost her mizzen mast. By 7:00 a.m. her fore topsail was loosed and she was quickly run onto the beach, head foremost. She immediately swung round, broadside to the sea. Both of her remaining masts then went over the side and she began to roll.

She was lost while unloading lumber at Cambria in San Luis Obispo County. The Cambria area had reportedly been free of fog until Monday evening, October 15, 1894, when a thick fog rolled in, reducing visibility to one hundred yards. The sea remained calm and the Electra lay quietly at anchor, until about midnight, when the swells of "one of the heaviest seas ever known at Cambria" began to move into the little port. The vessel was secure until 12:30 a.m., when a huge swell struck her. By 1:30 the lines to the main anchor had pulled away and the tide began to push the vessel rapidly towards the shore. The crew attempted to throw lines out, but due to the fog and waves, it soon became evident that the vessel could not be secured, and the crew decided to seek safety. To their dismay, their small life boat had been washed away. Soon the schooner’s keel was thumping against the rocks about 300 yards from her mooring place. The vessel scraped further along the rocks, and finally came to rest on some "usually-exposed" flat rocks.

77. State Of California This barque ran ashore thirty-five miles south of the heads in the bay of Maria Montez, California, USA. http://shipwrecks.slc.ca.gov/Articles/Isabelita_Hyne.html

Shipwreck Search Form Most Popular Links Shipwreck Home CSLC Main Web Contact Us Suggestions/Comments Related Links A Guide to Underwater Archaeology Resources San Diego Maritime Museum San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Isabelita Hyne By Marie Burnett The cause of the wreck of the Isabelita Hyne was never determined, but there was some suspicion that the loss of the vessel was not accidental. Shortly after she grounded, a reporter for the Chronicle received a tip that there had been a mutiny aboard the barque. An "intelligent seafaring man, who had communication with persons from the wreck" disclosed to the Chronicle reporter that the crew had intentionally wrecked the Isabelita Hyne to conceal evidence of a mutiny. Although this "mutiny theory" has never been proven, it does explain some of the peculiarities of the wreck. For example, it explains the mysterious disappearance of the barque’s cargo consisting of tea, sugar and rice. It was thought to have been salvaged, at least in part, by Half-Moon Bay residents. However, the only resident in that vicinity was a Mr. James Desington, who lived opposite the shore where the Isabelita Hyne grounded. He owned four miles along the coast and he claimed that the vessel was not pillaged. He reports that, "on the contrary" he "placed his entire force of men and Indians together with his animals at the disposal of those who were endeavoring to offer relief to the persons and property of the disabled vessel." The disappearance of the cargo might indeed support the mutiny theory as it seems quite plausible that the mutineers could have elected to "salvage" the cargo themselves.

The La Paz, a graceful windjammer, was reputed to be the largest sailing vessel to have entered Mendocino Bay up to that time. On what was apparently a deceptively calm morning, the La Paz, bound for Valparaiso, was lying in port along with the brig Kingsbury and the brig North Bend. All three were accepting cargo. The La Paz was loading a "mixed cargo", which included lumber, and was lying east of the loading zone in order to intercept some stripped logs at the mouth of the Mendocino River. These were intended for use as spars and were being floated down the river. The Kingsbury and North Bend had entered the loading zone, while the acting captain of the La Paz, Eugene Tablot, lowered one of the ship’s boats and went to meet the spars. Enroute to intercept the logs, the ship's boat was struck by what was described as "the heaviest [west] swell...that has been experienced on this coast for many years." The wave literally crashed into the steep-walled harbor. The ship’s boat, broadside to the wave, capsized, drowning Captain Talbot and at least one other man.

The government sold the ship in 1873, and the San Francisco company, Goodall, Perkins bought it for coastal passenger traffic. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company, which acquired Goodall, Perkins, owned the Los Angeles at the time of the wreck. The ship, captained by H.D. Leland, had been rebuilt as a screw steamer in 1874 at a cost of $100,000. The Los Angeles was 287 tons net, 493 gross. Its length was 107 feet, with a beam of 27.5 feet and a depth of hold of 11.2 feet. The Alta reported that the hull was in good shape. The Los Angeles was valued at $60,000 at the time of the wreck, and was uninsured. Around 8:30 p.m., at which time they were about 40 miles south of Monterey, the Captain and other passengers felt a bump and they rushed to the deck. A course change was ordered, but it was too late. The ship struck a sunken rock adjacent to Morro Rock, in full view of the lighthouse keeper at Point Sur. The vessel, stuck fast to the rocks, lay with her bow pointing northwest from the lighthouse, its starboard bow and quarter bearing heaviest on the rocks. The rocks continued to hold her for about 45 minutes as she filled with water, until a huge wave lifted her hull, completely filling it and she slipped into the sea.

Archeological Significance Brother Jonathan Exhibit - Ships History by Goodyear K. Walker The Brother Jonathan was a fast ship and was well-liked by her crew and passengers. She began her life in the California Gold Rush boom and ended it in the West Coast trade. Edward Mills, a New Yorker who had tried competing on the trans-Atlantic trade with no particular success, ordered the Brother Jonathan. He then decided to try cashing in on the hoards who wanted passage to the riches of California. In 1850 there were three ways to get to California: overland by wagon, horse or foot; by fast clipper ship around Cape Horn, or the Isthmus route, where you took a boat to Chagres (now Colon); or by foot or mule across the jungle to Panama, where you took another boat to San Francisco. Much treasure and blood were spent trying to dominate this route, mostly by New York bankers and shippers, but Mills thought he could play with the big boys. In the spring of 1850 Mills let a contract to build the Jonathan to the shipyards of Perrine, Patterson and Stack, of Williamsburg, New York. She was launched on November 2, 1850, and finished up early in the following year. As originally built, she was 220 feet long and 36 feet wide. She had upper and lower decks with two, 70-foot salons which were fully decorated with gilt and enamel. She carried two masts and a vertical beam engine built by the famous Morgan Iron Works driving two, side-mounted paddle wheels, each 33 feet in diameter. Mills paid $190,000 for her.
