The Cumberland Pacquet and Ware's Whitehaven
Advertiser, Tuesady, 1st March 1825;
" Tuesday last, a fine, new copper-bottomed brig, of 235 tons register, was
launched from the building yard of Messrs.Thomas and John Brocklebank,
at this port, called the Grecian,
built for Capt.L.Bouch and intended for the foreign trade."
The Grecian, along with several other vessels, was caught in
a NW heavy gale as she left the Mersey on Monday afternoon, 8th October
1832. The Grecian was driven onto Burbo Bank during the
evening,
but was got off during the night. She was too badly damaged to stay
afloat,
and sank in Bootle Bay. The steward, a woman passenger and her child
were
drowned. The Grecian was bound for Boston.
The William Neilson,
of Maryport, was lost on the Mersey banks in the same storm.
