56. A report given to Taaffe and retold in conversation: The Journal of Clarissa Trant (1925), pp. 198–9, dating from 1826. There were, inevitably, numerous subsequent versions of the sinking which already had achieved a kind of mythic significance even before it occurred. The variations are discussed in the letters of Mary, Trelawny, Captain Roberts and in Dowden, The Life of Percy Bysshe Shelley, II, pp. 534–6. The main point of contention lies in whether the damage to the mainmasts and stern timbers was caused by manhandling during the salvage operation or by collision with a felucca. But Mary’s original letter to Maria Gisborne of 15 August 1822 underwrites Taaffe’s account: ‘A Fishing boat saw them go down — It was about 4 in the afternoon — they saw the boy at mast head when baffling winds struck the sails they had looked away a moment & looking again the boat was gone.’
