Dec. 15, 1885: Lloyd’s of London receives word that Red Jacket, the Rockland-built clipper ship that set a record by crossing the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Liverpool in slightly more than 13 days during its maiden voyage in 1854, has slipped its mooring in a storm and broken apart on rocks in Funchal Harbor on the Portuguese island of Madeira. Two hundred tons of coal were on board at the time.
The wreckage is sold for 112 British pounds to Blandy Bros. & Co. Ltd., which uses the lumber from the ship to build a home for the family that owns the company and for furniture in the company’s offices.
