Shipwreck survivors reach New York after perilous Arctic voyage
Seven Germanic survivors arrived in New York on January 1 after a disaster at sea. With nine lost mates, they departed from Ver mouth to Fiestwood, England on November 23. A north west hurricane tore the barque apart on December 6, leaving the captain and crew to abandon ship. The seven men drifted for days in lifeboats before rescue by the Hotham Newton, with Captain lost and one lifeboat never signaled for help. They endured extreme cold, thirst, hunger, and danger, finally saved after 1100 miles at sea.
