Auguste was a former French privateer ship which had been captured by the British and converted to a merchant ship.<\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\">In September 1761, she was hired by the British government to transport French exiles and prisoners of war from Montreal to France. For the voyage, she was under the command of Joseph Knowles, an English sea captain. The ship was unarmed and carried 121 passengers and crew. Almost immediately upon clearing the mouth of the St. Lawrence on October 28, she encountered a week of contrary winds followed by a northwest gale and heavy seas which badly damaged the ship. Leaking heavily with an exhausted crew and damaged rigging, the captain sought a sheltered harbour in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. However Knowles was unable to find a safe refuge as Auguste carried only charts of the French coast. The ship struck land on the northeastern side of Cape Breton Island near an inlet known as Aspy Bay.<\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\">Only seven of the 121 made it to shore alive. These included the captain, the merchant Luc de la Corne, two soldiers, two servants, and one discharged soldier.<\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\">Recovered by various divers including Offshore Diving and Salvage of Sydney, NS owned by Gerald Langille and Edward Barrington&#8217;s 1977-1978 expedition.<\/font><\/div>\n<div><font size=\"4\" face=\"Arial\">(modified slightly from Wikipedia)<\/font><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"\"><font size=\"4\" face=\"Arial\"><br \/><\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"\">\n<div style=\"\">\n<div style=\"\">\n<div style=\"\"><font rwr=\"1\" style=\"\" size=\"4\" face=\"Arial\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"\">______________________________<\/div>\n<p><\/font><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 \u00e9cu&nbsp;d&#8217;argent au bandeau 1751A, Paris, France, King Louis XV KM#512.1.
