Calliope Rides Storm to Breakout at Apia Harbour
In March 1890 a South Pacific hurricane battered Apia Harbour where American ships Trenton Vandalla and Nipsic and German Olga Adler Eber faced crashing reefs. Captain Kane of Calliope kept full steam to free the vessel while others failed. Calliope alone escaped to safety as Trenton drifted ashore and the harbor lay in ruins. Beatty, then a middy aboard Calliope, later earned fame for this feat.
