Framed Print of The Sailing-Boat Il Leone di Caprera, 3½ tons burden, from Monte Video, 1881. Creator: Unknown
The Sailing-Boat Il Leone di Caprera, 3½ tons burden, from Monte Video, 1881. A correspondent at Las Palmas, Grand Canary, Mr. W. A. Lawton, has sent us a Sketch of this little vessel, which put in there on her voyage from South America to Europe. "...[she] put into this port for provisions, after a long voyage of ninety-five days. The boat is manned by three Italians - Captain V. Fondacaro, and two seamen, O. Grassoni and Pietro Trocoli - who all arrived in capital health...This little vessel is 27 ft. long, 7½ ft. wide...The hold is fitted with a number of hermetically-sealed zinc tubes...capable of floating forty tons. This hold is entered by a hatchway in the after-part of the vessel...there is just enough space to allow one man to lie down at full length...The two masts are...fitted in such a manner that, in case of a sudden squall, they can be lowered almost instantaneously. When in 48 deg. longitude and 30 deg. latitude they were struck by a heavy squall, and the vessel was thrown on her beam ends; the tops of her masts were forced several inches below the surface of the water. However, she raised herself almost instantly, and suffered no damage whatever...Captain Fondacaro has sailed under the British flag for nineteen years". From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
