The Jason is Spotted in the Storm (1893)

19-year-old Samuel J Evans, one of two apprentices who had been on the Jason, sat down with the newspapers to tell his story on December 6th, the day after the Jason had met with disaster. The New York Times of December 7th, 1893, reported: “We sailed,” said he, “from Calcutta last February with a cargo of jute butts for Boston. Two days after leaving port, we were nearly dismasted in a storm and had to put into Mauritius for repairs. During the gale, our mate was washed overboard and lost. After leaving Mauritius, we had fair weather up to the equator. Since Nov. 15, we have encountered easterly gales, with frequent snowsqualls.” Ship Name: JasonTonnage: 1,512Ship Type: Iron Hulled SchoonerNationality: British Year Built: 1870Year Wrecked: 1893Location Wrecked: Cape Cod Reason for Wreck: Ran Aground in Storm Lives Lost: 24Sources: https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/70407/pg70407.txthttps://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1893/12/07/109271091.html?pageNumber=8https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1895/09/10/102472311.html?pageNumber=6https://www.google.com/books/edition/Lloyd_s_Register_of_British_and_Foreign/HxIIklya2Y8C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=a+%26+jh+carmichael+lloyds&pg=PP454&printsec=frontcoverhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/881615955/?match=1&terms=jason%20shipwreck%20cape%20codhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/173917080/?match=1&terms=jason%20shipwreck%20cape%20codhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/533316952/?match=1&terms=jason%20shipwreck%20cape%20codhttps://www.google.com/books/edition/Just_a_Little_about_the_Lower_Cape_Perso/iJA1fqToXLMC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=jason+cape+cod+shipwreck&pg=PP27&printsec=frontcoverhttps://www.google.com/books/edition/The_New_England_Magazine/Ta8VAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=jason+cape+cod+shipwreck&pg=PA257&printsec=frontcoverhttps://www.google.com/books/edition/Cape_Cod_Magazine/bUYVAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=jason+cape+cod+shipwreck&pg=RA8-PA14&printsec=frontcoverhttps://www.google.com/books/edition/The_American_Marine_Engineer/IhZGAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=jason+cape+cod+shipwreck&pg=RA2-PA34&printsec=frontcover
