The North Star struck rocks near Green Island causing rapid evacuation as lifeboats and launches ferried passengers to towboats heading to Yarmouth. Captain Louis F. Strout and officers remain aboard as two wrecking machines attempt to refloat the badly damaged vessel, with little hope for salvage. About 70 crew members were aboard, reassigned to Governor Cobb in New York.
