The Vessel and Her Loss
The Hematope was a schooner engaged in the Jersey-run Gaspé fishing and trading firm Charles Robin, Collas & Co. Her master, Edward Renouf, and crew recorded the vessel's sudden total loss on Paspébiac Point in 1845. Beyond this first-hand account and a later ship's photograph held by a British maritime museum, few details of the vessel's build or the exact circumstances of her loss survive.
