The Great Hurricane of 1780 moved northwest across the Antilles, passing between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico before turning north and northeast over the Atlantic Ocean. Witnesses on Bermuda said the storm drove as many as 50 ships ashore and damaged many of the island’s buildings. It is thought to have dissipated on October 20 near Newfoundland.
