Lennie (barque)

The Lennie was a Canadian-built barque whose crew mutinied in 1875, en route to New York for orders.

Crew

Sources:

Voyage

The crew signed on in Antwerp, on October 23, 1875. That day, the ship departed for Sandy Hook. During the first week, the crew ran out of tobacco. The captain had only enough for himself and did not share. By the 31st, The ship was at 49°4′N 6°35′W / 49.067°N 6.583°W / 49.067; -6.583, going down the Channel against the headwinds, when the captain came on deck and ordered the ship about. The new crew fouled the braces, likely deliberately. The captain called out that the men were "not sailors, but soldiers".

Mutiny

At that point, Caladis stabbed the captain in the face and slashed his belly. Though wounded, the captain hit back with his fists and Caladis stabbed him again. Cargalis and the rest of the new crew arrived, and he stabbed the captain twice in the neck. Macdonald begged Canesso to spare him, but he was pushed away, and Caladis stabbed him twice. Wortley climbed the fore-rigging in an attempt to escape, but Cacaris, a Turk, shot at him from below and Kaida climbed above and also shot at him. They both fired a total of five times, causing Wortley to fall to the deck, where Cargalis nearly severed his head. Van Hoydonck attempted to give aid, but realised it was futile and stayed in his cabin.
