Schooner Richard F.C. Hartley ~ 2 September 1913

On the afternoon of September 2, 1913, the 469-ton schooner Richard F.C. Hartley, bound from New York to Charleston, S.C. with a cargo of salt, ran ashore on the North Carolina coast during the prevalence of a severe east-northeast gale, the vessel and cargo becoming a total loss. The schooner broke up very shortly after she struck, precipitating the seven members of her crew into the sea. Five of them were hauled out of the surf by life-savers of the Chicamacomico Gull Shoal and New Inlet Stations. The two others -- the cook and a seaman (names unknown) -- were drowned.
