Notes

[Source 1] "Auction of the hull and salvage of the American barque Pursuit shipwrecked on the Lucena shoals in the Province of Parahyba do Norte." In the auction, the materials that made up the vessel were separated, such as planks, oak planks, beech planks, spars, pitch barrels, boxes... It is No possible to know if everything was salvaged, but given how the shipwreck occurred, possibly No. Another hypothesis that can be raised is that of shallow depth, considering the quantity of items salvaged. See: Sources/Newspapers: #JRN-36
