Description | These refer more especially to the salvage operations after Messrs. Gibbs, Bright & co. had transferred their interest to a Holyhead syndicate (of which Mr W.B. Jones the postmaster seems to have been the leading personality), and tell of the negotiations with Lord Boston's agents over the appropriate compensation to be paid for the ceasing work at the Sychnant marble quarries which was made necessary by the operations at the wreck; in LLIG/32 it is argued by the syndicate that Lord Boston's terms were rather high - "the sum claimed could have been well afforded when all the gold was strewn along the coast... future operations will be all risk...." (the change of firms doing salvage is noticed by Mr Neil Baynes in his very interesting account of the disaster, p.13). Paper LLIG/28 seems to be a record of a Penrhoslligwy court leet in 1860 which is referred to the stoppage of the quarries and damage to Lligwy lands (all as a result of the wreck), and to a different matter - the malicious stopping up of the Forllwyd well, with a strong recommendation that it be thoroughly cleansed and kept in a fit state |
