Schooner Mentor ~ 25 & 26 August 1827

On September 6, 1827 the Carolina Observer of Fayetteville, NC reported on the storm of August 24 & 25.

Disastrous Intelligence: Five vessels are ashore at Teache's Hole, and one has drifted into the Sound, her fate not known. There were but six vessels in Wallace's Channel, and all of them are said to be ashore. The schooner MENTOR, Captain Manson of New Bern was among them. The WILLIAM AND FREDERICK, and another Schr. are ashore at the marshes.
