`A brig is just reported to be on shore at White Pit. A gale of wind throughout the night, towards noon a veering to the westward, and more moderate. The state of the vessel must be most perilous. (1) Date of Loss Qualifier: R Additional sources cited in United Kingdom Shipwreck Index: Sh.Merc.12.03.1824
This is probably the Carl Johan, reported lost at the same place at the same time.
The building date for this vessel is an estimate based on an average age at wrecking of twenty years. This average is derived from those vessels wrecked on the Dorset coast whose age at wrecking is known.
