What the AI says
A published compilation of the December 1839 shipwrecks lists the schooner Columbia of Bremen, Maine, under master Jacob L. Kaler as a total wreck, with two men, William Wallace and one named as Hofses (OCR may be imperfect), drowned. It appears among dozens of small New England coastal vessels lost in the same storm. The exact date, location of the wreck and the correct spelling of the second victim's name remain uncertain from this page alone.
