Shipwrecks of the Florida Keys - March 22nd

Today in 1831 the ship Amulet was wrecked on Pickles Reef. The ship was on its way from Boston for New Orleans. Though the ship was lost, some its cargo, which consisted in part of furniture, dry goods, shoes, and fish, was saved. Also today, though in 1913, it was reported that the Dutch schooner Venture had been abandoned during a March storm, probably in the Upper Keys. The crew had been rescued by the British steamer Reliance.
