Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Edward Pelham Brenton (1774-1830) himself served in the Royal Navy during most of the period under review, reaching the rank of post-captain, and was the brother of Admiral Sir Jahleel Brenton, American-born loyalist who served in the Swedish navy against Russia and was wrecked and taken prisoner in France during the Napoleonic Wars.

The loss of the President, on her home passage, in the dreadful gale of March, 1841, for the moment produced a feel ing of mistrust as to the permanent efficacy of steam navigation in situations of extreme peril, and for distant voyages on stormy seas; but the evil impression rapidly passed away. It was remembered that the British Queen and the Halifax mail steamers weathered the hurricane to which the President had succumbed, and that many of the finest sailing-vessels in the royal navy and merchant-service had been lost by foundering at sea. The instance of the President was an isolated casualty, and not a test upon which to establish a general rule.
