Borland.The vessel was bound for Portland, Maine, and was some days overdue when she arrived off the harbour on February 22nd. It was about 8 in the evening and foggy, the speed of the ship being not more than 2 knots.The captain misjudged the distance of the lights dimly visible on Cape Elizabeth and the vessel struck Alden's rocks and passed over the rocks before he was aware of his danger. There was a large hole in the hull below water, and the ship was headed for shore.he engine room and furnaces flooded rapidly and when near the land, near Broad Cove, the vessel sank in an upright position in 4 fathoms. The weather, though thick, was mild and calm with a heavy ground swell, the position of the Bohemian being one eighth of a mile from shore with her deck above water at low tide.The boats were launched, the second capsizing and drowning 20 persons, all Irish emigrants, the others reaching land in safety. Capt. Borland and his officers remained on board until the following morning and managed to save all the mails.
