Sinking of Weehawken-- Part 6: Crew Later Scattered Throughout the Fleet

The Weehawken's yeoman was brought alive on board the flagship, and died in spasms a few moments afterward.  Various parties were picked up  and taken to the nearest vessel, where every provision was made for their comfort and restoration.

Those of the crew who were saved are now scattered in small squads throughout the fleet.  It is impossible to procure at present the names of those who were lost.

The Weehawken is lying in five fathoms of water, and it will soon be raised.  Until she is brought up, no one can tell  with certainty why she sank.
