The Difficult Rescue of the Nevada (1932)

The Straits Times of the 29th of November, 1932, featured the following interview: “We picked up the S.O.S. of the Nevada through St. Paul’s radio Station,” Captain R. K. Healy, commander of the President Madison, told Newspapermen on the arrival of the liner at Victoria, B.C. on Oct. 5. “This was at 11.30 o’clock on the night of Sept. 26, and our course was immediately altered to render what aid we could. The wind was blowing heavy and from the east-south-east and we were about 600 miles west of Amatignak Island. Steaming at full speed we arrived at the scene of the wreck at noon on Sept. 29.” Ship Name: Nevada Year Built: 1920Ship Type: Steel-Hulled Screw-Propelled Steamship Nationality: United States of America Tonnage: 5642 Year Wrecked: 1932Location Wrecked: Amatignak IslandReason for Wreck: Navigational Error in a Fog Lives Lost: 34Sources: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Lloyd_Register_of_Shipping_1933_Steamers/HXCAEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=nevada+States+Steamship+Company+1920+ss+west+niger&pg=RA12-PR49&printsec=frontcoverhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/506257538/https://www.newspapers.com/image/500544991/?match=1&terms=nevada%20president%20madisonhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/1083727030/?match=1&terms=nevada%20president%20madisonhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/60248916/?match=1&terms=nevada%20president%20madisonhttps://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19321129-1.2.4.1https://www.newspapers.com/image/506257192/?match=1&terms=nevada%20president%20madisonhttps://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19321001-1.2.37https://www.newspapers.com/image/19602389/?match=1&terms=nevada%20president%20madisonhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/95993582/?terms=nevada%20president%20madisonhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/506257457/?match=1&terms=nevada%20president%20madisonhttps://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19330323-1.2.4.1https://www.newspapers.com/image/1083695510/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19320930-1.2.48
