The Daniel Steinmann Strikes Mad Rock (1884)

The New York Times of April 7, 1884, quoted Fritz Vick, the second boatswain of the Daniel Steinmann, in the following statement: “The weather was bad on Wednesday and Thursday. I went on duty at 8 o’clock Thursday night. It was foggy and blowing heavily, with rain and snow. About 9 o’clock the rain held up, and it looked as though it was going to clear up. The Captain had been on the bridge two days and nights.” Ship Name: Daniel Steinmann Tonnage: 1790 Ship Type: Iron Hulled Steamship Year Built: 1875 Nationality: Belgium Year Wrecked: 1884Location Wrecked: Sambro Island, Nova Scotia Reason for Wreck: Navigational Error Lives Lost: 124 Sources:https://books.google.com/books?id=_a0EAAAAQAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=daniel+steinmann+1884+shipwreck+halifax&source=gbs_navlinks_shttps://books.google.com/books?id=L59YMBXkAZoC&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=daniel+steinmann+1884+shipwreck+halifax&source=gbs_navlinks_shttps://books.google.com/books?id=EAz84yBQ8kUC&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=daniel+steinmann+1884+shipwreck+halifax&source=gbs_navlinks_shttps://newspaperarchive.com/biddeford-daily-journal-apr-07-1884-p-2/https://newspaperarchive.com/the-fairbury-gazette-apr-12-1884-p-7/https://newspaperarchive.com/elkhart-weekly-review-apr-10-1884-p-1/https://newspaperarchive.com/dixon-daily-telegraph-apr-05-1884-p-1/https://newspaperarchive.com/boston-daily-globe-apr-05-1884-p-11/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1884/04/05/issue.htmlhttps://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1884/04/07/106149206.html?pageNumber=1
