Alexander gordon drowned at 13th April 1875.
This may be of interest to someone:
The master of the Glasgow Ship Savanetta, arrived at Greenock, reports the death by drowning off Trinidad on 13th April of Alexander Gordon, mate on board that Vessel. Gordon fell overboard from the gangway, and though the ship was at once hove-back, a life-buoy thrown out, and a boat lowered, no trace of the body could be found.
Taken from the July 1875 Clyde shipping Gazette.
