  14 September — storm damaged brig San Giorgio (Neopolitan) drifted onto the Crim Rocks, then cleared and partially sank on her side with her crew rescued by the schooner Galway. San Giorgio drifted out to sea and was found 60 miles (97 km) offshore. She was towed back to Scilly by a schooner and fifteen pilot-cutters with all her cargo of olive oil and wood salvaged. She was repaired on St Mary's and renamed the Lion of Scilly.
