1819 - The Bounty Hall, an East Indiaman of 700 tons with a cargo of rice, spices

and sugar, came ashore undamaged at Llanmadoc.   The cargo was off-loaded with

help of the local villagers and the vessel refloated.   It was notable - and unusual -

that five days later when officials arrived to collect it, the cargo was recovered in

full. (Ref. 002)
