I have a MI transcription from a grave at St Minver Cornwall
' Peter & David VAUGHAN, master and mate of the BRIG HOPE of FISHGUARD ...../ The only sons of their mother and she was a widow. Who, with five others, the crew, were wrecked and drowned off Penviregolaze? Penvireglaze ? in this parish on the night of the 17th Oct 1843. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them, they sank as lead in the mighty waters - Exodus'

Long time, but if still interest, I have some information re Hope (OK Milford, but master at Fishguard 1815-34) and later relationship with Vaughans in Fishguard in investment in shipping.
Very bried - but any reply and I'll put together some more.

I had a few minutes spare and spotted the posting, just to add out of interest;
David Vaughan was baptised 20 Apr 1823 at Fishguard and his elder brother Peter Vaughan was baptised 09 Nov 1819 at Fishguard to Henry & Mary Vaughan of Fishguard.
Henry Vaughan a Mariner mrd Mary Griffiths at Fishguard on the 29 Jan 1816.
Henry's will was proven in 1834 reference nbr SD1834-86, he was of the Brig Hope out of Fishguard.
Interestingly the only burials to fit for David and Peter are both shown at Fishguard in 1833, so that must be a conincidence and can be proven not to be related.

Hello :)
The place was Pentireglaze, Cornwall.
Taken from West Briton newspaper of 27th October 1843:-
".......The brig 'Hope,' 112 tons burden, of Fishguard, Cardiganshire, PETER VAUGHN, master, laden with copper ore, was driven on shore on Pentire-Glaze, sometime during Wednesday night. All on board perished. She came into such a spot that it is believed she could not have lived more than five minutes. Since the wreck six bodies have been picked up, and it is supposed that there is still a lad missing. It was a melancholy sight to behold the bodies of these six poor creatures laid side by side in one spacious grave. The ship was seen in distress the previous day, and fires were made at Port Issac, but in all probability the crew were endeavouring to reach Padstow harbour."

Not sure if you will get this after all this time, but I have just finished a family history book that makes mention of the storm that killed the brothers, my relative was crossing in another boat, I could send the extract to you if you wish.

I guess as you mention passage of time that you were directing to the original poster. You may notice my more recent posting mentioning some posssible earlier history of the Hope and other connection with the Vaughan family.
If any interest in exchange let me know. I'd be interested to see your extract even though it's a bit out on a limb from my family history. However I also do bits on ships, so might follow up the Hope if I can find enough material.

Hi again, I have posted it here on Rootschat,
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,453381.msg4770141.html#msg4770141
It is part of a larger piece, but it is directly related to that fateful night. It is in my family history book, but by all means use it if you wish, as it is a rare historical event that probably has never been described elsewhere.
