It sank during a sudden and violent gale on October 31, 1780 and at least 120 men, women, children, and prisoners went down with the ship. The ship had departed earlierthat day from Fort Niagara. The ship is still considered as a British Admiralty property.
You Tube had a film on it and the degree of preservation is quite remarkable.
Not a lot was recovered after the sinking. According to official British records, the victims included 74 military, 9 women and children, 4 Indians, and 1 civilian. Evidently, there were no survivors.
Never Heard of this Ship Before. --Old Coot
