Dimock at Pollock Rip Forces Hall Vessel Ashore
A foggy morning collision off Pollock Rip near Cape Cod sent the steamer Horatio Hall from Portland to New York and the Dimock from New York to Boston. The Dimock rammed the Hall’s port side, trapping passengers and crew as both ships sought sand banks and lifeboats. Captain Thompson guided the Dimock to Orleans with five passengers aboard including two women, while repairs and salvage efforts work toward floating the Dimock again with Coast Guard involvement.
