3 unusual facts about Ann Harvey


Ann Harvey

From Government House, Governor Thomas Cochrane applied to the Royal Humane Society for recognition of the family and a special medal was struck.

When Captain Grant of HMS Tyne arrived about eight days later, after receiving word of the wreck, they found no bread, flour or tea left in the Harvey home, their winter provisions all gone.

Lloyd's of London, the insurance agents, gave the Harveys the then princely sum of 100 pounds.
