The Colima Loses Against the Storm (1895)

The San Francisco Call on June 7th, 1895 reported the following: “The ship was overloaded, badly loaded, top-heavily loaded - all agree upon that. When the gale struck her she weathered it, but badly. Then she careened. There was a list to starboard, and she did not right again. Men called out to the captain to cut away the deckloading of heavy spars. The captain was obdurate. He knew his business, or fancied that he did, and would brook no suggestions from what he called the terrified and panic-stricken passengers.” Ship Name: Colima  Ship Built: 1873 Tonnage: 2909 Nationality: United States of America  Ship Type: Iron-Hulled Single Screw Steamship  Year Wrecked: 1895 Location Wrecked: 30 Miles From Manzanillo.
