THE COMMODORE RODGERS AND THE ATLANTIC: WHALERS ASHORE
Far from her homeport of New Bedford, Massachusetts, on a Pacific whaling expedition, the Commodore Rodgers was riding increasingly rising swells off Monterey Bay when a sudden southwest squall caused the ship to lose her mizzenmast and go ashore on the morning of November 19, 1836.
Within a week, the ship had been pounded to pieces. Her masts, rigging and fittings sold for $15,000 at a public auction, while her cargo of nine hundred barrels of valuable whale oil went for $10 each.
