Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifty-Fifth Annual Report of the American Colonization Society: With the Minutes of the Annual Meeting and of the Board of Directors, January 16 and 17, 1872
The ship Golconda, which was announced in our last Report to have sailed on her sixth voyage for Liberia, dropped anchor off Monrovia December 23, where her passengers were safely landed and promptly conveyed to their lands at Arthington and Brewerville. Clearing from that port January 3 she arrived at New York February 24, having encountered heavy weather on the run out and home.
On the return voyage, and bound for Boston, the Golconda struck on Nantucket shoals early in the evening of February 21, but soon ?oated off without assistance. No lives and no part of the cargo were lost, but the ship sustained considerable injury. As her necessary repairs would require quite an out lay, and as the Society had not the funds to keep so large a vessel in active service, it was concluded to sell her in the con dition in which she arrived, which was done at private sale.
