The Julius Caesar was a ship built by Thomas Cowen at Whitehaven, launched on the 24th January 1811. By 1826 she was registered at London. By 1829 she had been reduced to barque rig and was bought by Jonathan Pope and registered at Plymouth. The Julius Caesar was wrecked on the 22nd October 1833 near New York.
The Liverpool Mercury, Friday, 27th December 1833;
"Shipwrecks - The season of foggy,
murky, easterly weather has again come around, and its disastrous
effects on the mariner are already showing themselves. On Friday
morning last, the British ship Julius
Caesar, from Newport, Wales, loaded with passengers and iron,
went ashore on the New Jersey coast, 5 miles south of Barnegut. The
crew and passengers reached the beach without any accident occurring,
where they pitched tents to reside in, no dwelling-houses being
convenient. The vessel subsequently was stripped of her sails, and
hopes were entertained, from the favourableness of the weather, that
she would be got off after part of her cargo was taken out. She is
consigned to Edward Lee and Co., of this city, and is insured at
Lloyd's, London. - New York Standard, Nov.25."
