A small boat carrying grain from Porto Badino to Genova. Shortly after setting off there were some instances of bad weather with wind from the west and south-west which occassioned stops for shelter at Gaeta and Civita Vecchia. Off the ‘formiche’ of Grossetto they encountered a storm with winds from the South and South-west at Midnight and made a small jettison of ships equiptment to lighten the ship, including the spars of the foremast its sail and the sail of the main mast which had broken under the force of the wind, running before the wind in the direction of Piombino.

When they had come level with the Cala di Forno they were forced to make a second, larger jettison of grain. The ship made it into the Port of Cala di Forno after jettisoning about 40 ‘moggi’ or about 80 Rubbi of grain. The cargo was soaked because a breach had opened up under the force of the water but it could not be discovered where. They stayed 5 days in the Port then went to Lungone (Porto Azzurro) on the Island of Elba where the captain made the consolato and stayed a further 6 to 8 days.
