Caption:
"Hurricane, suffered by the Ship
named Credito on 25th January 1878 in the outset of the Channel close to
the land of France, with serious danger to run into the above coast. The
crew made all the efforts in order to save themselves from the danger,
but seeing that impossible they hoped only in the Supreme Aid invoking
prayer and grace to Our Lady of Boschetto.
In facts they obtained the grace, clearing up the weather; therefore Ansaldo Matteo donates the present offer in memory of the received great grace. |
