Daily Event for October 18, 2013

On October 18, 1880 a sailing vessel named Canton was sunk off the southern coast of Hainan Island, China. I have almost no information about this ship other than her owners were Siamese. The only other detail I have is that thirty-six of her crew, including the master, were lost.
