The Wreck of the San Francisco: Disaster and Aftermath in the Great Hurricane of December 1853
John Stewart
On December 22, 1853, a brand new steamship left New York Harbor on its maiden voyage. The San Francisco was arguably the best-made ocean-going vessel built up to that time. Only two days out, the San Francisco ran into one of the great hurricanes of maritime history. Her sails and masts were blown away, the engine was wrecked, and scores of people were washed overboard.
