and particular account of the melancholy loss of the British convict ship Amphitrite, the 31st August 1833 The story of the Amphitrite, a British convict ship which sank off Boulogne on 31 August 1833 after running aground in bad weather. The ship, bound for New South Wales and carrying female covicts and children, sank in full view of the French coastline and the destruction of the vessel was watched by onlookers from the shore. The event received sensational press attention in which the British Consul was accused of negligence and Captain John Hunter was blamed for the loss of life arising from his failure to accept assistance and his fear that the convicts might escape. A maritime tragedy was transformed into a national scandal and resulted in an Admiralty Investigation chaired by Lieutenant Henry Ducie Chads. While focusing on the circumstances of the wreck of Amphitrite, the author explores the wider history of convict transportation, the use of prison hulks and on board conditions on a transport ship. The author details prevailing weather conditions, the ship's history and the lives of some of the convicts on board as well as those of the ship's surgeon James Forrester and his wife (on board at the time of the wreck) and Captain John Hunter.

Captain James Carlin : Anglo-American blockade-runner /Colin Carlin. "Captain James Carlin is a biography of a shadowy nineteenth-century British Confederate, James Carlin (1833-1921), who was among the most successful captains running the U.S. Navy's blockade of Southern ports during the Civil War. Written by his descendent Colin Carlin, Captain James Carlin ventures behind the scenes of this perilous trade that transported vital supplies to the Confederate forces. An Englishman trained in the British merchant marine, Carlin was recruited into the U.S. Coastal and Geodetic Survey Department in 1856, spending four years charting the U.S. Atlantic seaboard. Married and settled in Charleston, South Carolina, he resigned from the survey in 1860 to resume his maritime career. His blockade-running started with early runs into Charleston under sail. These came to a lively conclusion under gunfire off the Stono River mouth. More blockade-running followed until his capture on the SS Memphis. Documents in London reveal the politics of securing Carlin's release from Fort Lafayette. On Carlin's return to Charleston, General P. G. T. Beauregard gave him command of the spar torpedo launch Torch for an attack on the USS New Ironsides. After more successful trips though the blockade, he was appointed superintending captain of the South Carolina Importing and Exporting Company and moved to Scotland to commission six new steam runners. After the war Carlin returned to the Southern states to secure his assets before embarking on a gun-running expedition to the northern coast of Cuba for the Cuban Liberation Junta fighting to free the island from Spanish control and plantation slavery."--Provided by the publisher. 2017 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92CARLIN
