Fate

In 1865 Fortitude, Booth, master, sailed to Toulon, then Singapore, and back to London. There is no readily available ship arrival and departure data after her return in November 1865. A typhoon drove a barque named Fortitude ashore at Kowloon, damaging her. At this point it is a conjecture that the barque in Kowloon was the Fortitude of this article.

LR for 1866 carried the annotation "Wrecked" under FortitudeШаблон:'s name.[8]
