The ROCKINGHAM (Captain Coffin) was a wooden sailing vessel on passage from
New York to Liverpool which was driven ashore (as were many other vessels near
Liverpool in the
heavy gale) at the Point of Ayr on 5 December 1822.
Her rudder was unshipped and she was eventually condemned. The ship's
stores and the cargo were recovered.
A report in January 1823, states that she was refloated and taken
into the river Mersey. She is not listed in 1825 Lloyd's Register.
[from Lancaster Gazette - Saturday 28 December 1822]:
Recent storm: Those vessels on shore in the river [Mersey] from the violence of
the gale, having since
been fortunately got off and brought into the docks with the
exception of the Rockingham, from New York, which has been
condemned, but her cargo was saved.
