* More Cork Shipping News: Two Shipwrecks One transatlantic ship was wrecked, repaired, and refloated. One foundered and lost. The Schooner Maria Eliza of Cork, voyaging to St John NB from Cork became trapped in ice and was blown ashore in Greenland. The crew survived with the help of the indigenous people of that locale and Danish managers and the vessel was freed months later, arriving at St John in November 1833, six months after departing Cork. The crew had been presumed dead, the schooner lost, and insurance monies paid (Cork newspaper report). The Wellington , owned by Morgan and Reeves, sailed from St John for Cork 23 Dec 1833. The vessel foundered. One female passenger and three crew drowned. The captain, eleven sailors and one male passenger survived on 4lb beef and one cat for ten days before being rescued. Morgan and Reeves had offices on White Street and owned ships in West Indies
