The USS Vermont was caught in a bad storm 95 miles south-southeast of Cape Cod and was able to send a distress message by March 1, 1862 to the Boston Navy Yard. She had lost her rudder, bower anchors, rigging and four boats, and was helplessly adrift in the height of the storm. The USS Aroostook was just fitted out and under the command of Lt. John C. Beaumont, was sent to the vicinity the USS Vermont had last been seen.
I would like to know how this message of distress was delivered, or has the article on USS Aroostook wikipedia glossed the details and left out some important facts.
Thanks,
Lubliner.
