CHARLES BARTLETT SHIP
The American brig left the Downs for America on June
14th, 1849, with 162 emigrants, one cabin passenger and a crew
of 14 under Capt. Bartlett. She carried a general cargo of about
450 tons. On June 27th the vessel ran into thick fog. At 3:30
in the afternoon, there being nearly 100 passengers on deck at
the time, the British and North American Royal Mail Steam ship
EUROPA suddenly appeared out of the fog and struck the CHARLES
BARTLETT on her port side between fore and mainmasts. There was
little time for either captain do anything to avert the disaster
as the EUROPA was steaming at about 12 knots, although
she stopped her engines immediately.
Many of the unfortunate emigrants were killed instantly and
in four minutes the ship had foundered taking with her 135 persons.
Capt. Bartlett saved himself by jumping for the bows of the EUROPA
as she struck his ship.
Every effort was made by Capt Lott and the officers of the
EUROPA to save life and 42 persons were rescued. The EUROPA sustained
little damage and there were no injuries to any of those on board.
