The "Pulaski" disaster 14th June 1838
The steam ship "Pulaski" left Charleston for Baltimore with about 150 passengers, of whom about 50 were ladies. About 11 o'clock that night while off the NC coast 30 miles the boiler exploded and the vessel was lost. Three boats were launched, but one quickly sunk. Mr. Hibberd, the 1st mate finally landed the two surviving boats on a beach east of Stump Inlet.
Mr. Cooper from Ga commanded the other boat. There were 11 in the Mate's boat, including 2 black women. Of these two passengers, one of the crew, and the Negro women were drowned in making the landing. With the help of these survivors, Mr. Cooper's boat landed safely. They proceeded a short distance across Stump Sound to Mr. Reed's on Onslow Co. where they remained from Friday evening and started for Wilmington on Sunday.
