Fate of ship:
Wrecked. Shipping N ews: ‘Milford, Jan 18. The Gaspar , Harvey, Cork, and for Cork from Newport, was in contact, yesterday, 27 miles WSW of S t Ann’s Head, with the Kate Howe , Norcross, from Cardiff to New Orleans; the Gaspar had her main-mast &c, carried away, and quarter stove, and was obliged to have her fore-mast cut away; at night she was abandoned, the crew got on board the Kate Howe and were landed here’ ( London Morning Post , 22 January 1853). The same report continues : ‘ The Asiatic , Sutton of Cork and for Cork, with coals, sank in the Bristol Channel, immediately after being in contact with the Sophia Burbridge , Robertson, from Bristol to London; master and female passenger drowned. The Sophia Burbridge lost jib-boom, bowsprit, &c, and put in here today, ‘making water’. While the spelling of Gasper here slightly differs, Gasper disappears from Lloyd’s Register and is the same vessel. The sinking of the Asiatic is documented above in this Catalogue 4. Captain John Coughlan (b.1807, Cork) was previously a seaman on New City of Cork and George and a Mate on Urania, Governor Douglas and Richard Neville Parker .
