Central pressure measurement of 924 mb with the southern wind-pressure
relationship gives 132 kt - 130 kt utilized, a major hurricane. Ludlum
(1963) named this system the "Cape Verde and Cape Hatteras Hurricane
(offshore)".

Analysis of historical tropical storms and hurricanes impacting Georgia and
Northeast Florida by Sandrik (2001) shows that the hurricane moved northward
to just offshore Georgia and caused hurricane conditions along the Georgia
coast. This was based upon ship reports and wind reports from Jacksonville,
Brunswick and Charleston. (The hurricane was previously listed as being
stationary for two days.)
********************************************************************************
1853 - Additional Notes:
1. The tropical storm listed as #9 in 1853 in Partagas and Diaz (1995a) was
not included into the HURDAT because of evidence suggesting that the storm
did not actually exist. Partagas and Diaz had found an unsupported reference
to it in Garcia-Bonnelly (1958), but no other information.
