Death of Pietro Massa, Castaway/Shipwrecked

Post by EllenD »

I wonder if someone can help translating this portion of a death record. I can not link directly to the document so I am attaching a picture of a portion of the document. Thank you for any help.

Regards,

Ellen

This is the transcription of the copy of a death act sent to another comune (place of residence or birth).
The relevant part is as follows:
== In the night of 29 January on this shore, due to shipwreck, there died MASSA PIETRO, 56 yo, born in Procida, seaman on the ship "L'Armonia", sunk at the Caletta [it's a locality].
There are not known the names of his parents nor if he was married or not.
[Follows the signature of the Official]
This copy was written in Siniscola on 22 April 1877. ==

Siniscola is a comune in the Province of Nuoro, Sardinia.
