Reading edition
The Amphitrite frigate was wrecked on its passage from Porto Ferraio, in Elba, to Leghorn. Sir Gilbert writes on January 31, 1794, to Lady Elliot, ‘I was yesterday shipwrecked, but nevertheless I arrived at Leghorn without even having wetted my feet’ (Life and Letters of Sir Gilbert Elliot).
