Red circles show the possible range that the event occured in

A small Neopolitan vessel carrying grain for the Princess of Miragnio from Barletta to Genova encountered various incidences of bad weather and adverse winds, making stops in Manfredonia, Brindisi, Messina, Baia (twice), Gaeta, and Livorno. Consolati are made for damages in Geata and Livorno after two major incidents: The first one occured around 30 miles from Monte Cercello, with strong winds from the South and South-West. In his haste to get into the port of Gaeta as quickly as possible, and thus avoid losing the ship, the main and fore top sails were broken as well as the yard of the mainsail.

The ship also made a jettison of various equiptment, 3 barrels of wine and 15 ‘tomela’ of grain, in order that they might find the breaches made in the hull. The second incident happened about 20 miles from Porto Ferraio, near the bay of Monte Nero. During another storm water began to enter through 2 breaches discovered in the hull. They were forced to bail out, and the water they were bailing was mixed with grain, signalling damage to the cargo. The ship made it as quickly as possible into the port of Livorno.
