Manchester, Frederick Wilson, master, left Bombay on 16 July 1839, with a cargo of cotton, and bound for Liverpool. On 29 July she developed a leak. When the pumps could not cope with the incoming water, her 29 passengers and crew abandoned her in the Indian Ocean ( 1°47′N 84°40′E / 1.783°N 84.667°E) and took to her boats on 2 August. The men set a course for Ceylon, but on 4 August they realized that they could not reach there and instead made for Penang. The longboat with Wilson and 19 others reached Penang on 22 September. [3] Thomas Coutts rescued the other nine, who had taken to the jolly boat. [4]
The LR issue for 1839 has the annotation "foundered" by Manchester's name. [5]
