Fog Holds Ships In Port At Boston Harbor
Dense fog kept many ships in harbor with limited departures while a larger fleet of European steamers arrived. The Cunarder Saxonia carried 682 steerage passengers and sailed from Daunt's Rock to Boston Light in eight days and three hours. Notable travelers included A. Fred Brown and wife, R. H. Martin, Louise Chandler Moulton, and Colonel F. C. Pierce. Other liners faced rough seas, with the Armenian reporting damage to lifeboats and decks. Several ferries and coastwise sailings were delayed, and no coal ships entered the port. The November 28 date marks the 1898 blizzard anniversary shadowing the fogbound scene.
