Notes

[Source 1] Transcription: "It touched and struck the reef stones at barretinha do Leitão at Ponta do matto do Cabedello on the 29th of last month at 6:30 in the afternoon near the place where the galley Edmond was lost, the English brig Susan, consigned to V. P. Maia, with a cargo of textiles. The entire cargo was saved without damage, and it is hoped to save the ship. As soon as the Government learned of this event, it took all measures to prevent the scenes of the Edmond from being repeated. It ordered the Alfandega launch and rowers to be placed at the consignee's disposal, as well as that of the Capitania do Porto. It dispatched a first-line force."
