Item Details
Description
Broadside.- extreme weather.- Full and Particular Account (A) of a most dreadful Hurricane, which took place on the 6th of February last, at Tunis on the Barbary Coast ..., printed broadside, woodcut illustration at head, slight creasing and spotting, laid down on paper, c.365 x 165 mm., Nottingham, Ordoyno, [c.1815].*** Rare. Seemingly unrecorded. Short statements on the "Hurricane at Tunis" recording damage and losses of life and ships. Given the trading history of the Gulf of Tunisia, and the huge loss of life it would not be surprising if many of the victims were slaves. "Such is the account of this dreadful Hurricane, in which it is supposed more than Fifty Ships have been cast away and lost, and more than Fifteen Hundred human beings have perished in the merciless deep; for when this account came-away, the full extent of the calamity could not be ascertained."
