Buried under the wharf in a land reclaimation 1920s
Atlantic, Capt. Fowlic, pride of Cobourg where she had been built two years previously.
This Atlantic was later the command of Capt. David Sylvester, aged 18. She lies buried under the coal dock in Port Hope boneyard, in the west harbor, beside the Two Brothers and the Garibaidi. The west harbor was partially filled in by improvements twenty years ago, covering the hulks. The Atlantic was a topsail schooner, miscalled a brigantine and sometimes even a brig, as a term of esteem. She was black with a red bottom, and had a white band with painted ports, like a man-of-war or a whaler, then the height of fashion in ship painting, and she had yellow trailboards and a scroll head, with a cornucopia of painted fruits and flowers.
